Title: Yo-Yo
Post by: smile4katie on May 26, 2011, 11:15:39 AM

A guy told me that the Cat's eye was highly collectible but I can't find any to compare it to.

I also have a midnight special but I have an idea on that one.

This one went for $3.99, but no eye and not on its card.

This one is black with its eye and going for $65 BIN

Seems a broad spread. But yours will appeal to collectors as it has the original card.

I always used a red Duncan Imperial back in the day when these were hot (1960s). I have no idea on the rest. I have never heard of the Cat's Eye so I am assuming that is newer? I always remember Tommy Smothers as the Master of Yo.  ;D

It sounds like the BIN for $65 is dreaming big.
