The 101 Jeweled Tournament is the rarest of the jewelled Duncans. This jewel was made for sale in Canada. Notice that it does not have the word "yo-yo" on the logo, because that word was trademarked in Canada. To add to the collectibility, the decal also featured the nostagic Mr. Yo-Yo character on the logo, like the yellow seal 77s of the time.

These are extremely difficult to find in any condition, let alone with the decal sticker intact. Decals quickly wear off during play.

Pictured here is a near mint 101. This one has never been played. The paint and decal is slightly faded with time, but the decal is 100% intact, as is the paint. I grade this a 9 only because of some storage wear and dirt it has picked up over the years. It's a tough call whether or not to try to clean a beauty like this, because you never know if cleaning will damage the paint, or worse, the decal.
