Largest Collector in Iowa?
« on: December 26, 2010, 07:13:37 AM »

Just wonder if i still hold that crown?
I gave up collecting YO Yos over a year ago. Put $ in other collections I have.
Still have my room of YO.
Happy New years everyone!!

Wow, that's amazing.  What other collections do you have going?

Also, where do you get those wall cases?  I've been looking for something like that.

That is an AWESOME collection, sir! Lucky would be proud! I see a ton of stuff in there I'd kill to have!

I'm curious as to what else you collect, too. I collect a lot of stuff, but not to that level (well, except comic books maybe).

That's an amazing collection. Impressive.

What is the black Duncan sign with the yellow yo-yo on it? It looks like a chalkboard. Is that correct?

Thanks Seth it was fun.
Also collect autos(10)and guns(A room).
Why i got out of it is because i had to have every yo-yo and color too. Collecting aluminums yos became too much $ to do all 3. So i droped down to 2 active collection.

Still the largest Yo Yo collection in Iowa!!!!

Good to see you around Roger - you'll find alot of us here from the last boom... many in a similar boat regarding the cost and proliferation of yos and aluminum in particular.  I personally have become much more selective in what I purchase from the new releases.

Hope you continue to hang and contribute from time to time.

It's always a bummer when there's no respect for where we've come from. Also known as history.

Let's keep Roger's post on topic.
Awesome collection, I bet your not only the largest collector in Iowa, I bet it spreads over a few states.
Great to see you checking in from time to time.

great collection  Afro

just out of curiosity (no hate here), do you actually play yoyo or you're mostly a collector ?

you might have some nice pieces in there.
