Sponsors and Curators The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections!

Considered version 2, blister carded. At the end of Duncan's fiscal year, May 31, 1963--which also marked the annual conclusion of their promotions for the season until Fall--Duncan switched from using polybags to using blister cards (also known as bubble cards) for many of their products. A poly-bagged version of this yo-yo, seen in "Other Examples" below, was released about April or May of 1963. Both the poly-bagged and blister card editions are identical and considered version 2. The challenging to find version 1 edition has a single head of Mickey Mouse on side A while side B says, "Mickey Mouse Club - Duncan Yo-Yo Return Top". Besides the move to bubble cards, May 1963 also marks the time when Duncan began to replace alphanumeric and two- and three-digit product stock codes with four-digit codes instead. Knowing this information can help you date early to mid-1960s Duncan yo-yo products.
