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!

Pre-printed with the price of "1.29". Beige white body with white sticker and "Royal® Yo-Yo" in red lettering and the outline of a 5-point crown with (T) in it (trademark).

The sentence on the card front, at the bottom, says, "Precision designed by the original yo-yo experts to rigid tournament specifications". A few years later, the sentence was changed to read "The yo-yo of the famous Philipino Champions". Compare with the Royal Yo-Yo Fire-Fly #88 model from the mid 1970s.
