 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!
If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com

From yoyofactory.com:
"Released in 2009 the original Catch 22 was a design experiment that changed modern yo-yos forever. The zero inner high wall, bimetal construction was a precursor to the next decade of yo-yo design.
For 2022 we are not reinventing the wheel, just perfecting it! We kept it pretty simple replicating the profile of the original in a full titanium body. Using lessons learned since the original release, we took advantage of low friction [black] POM for the zero wall which ultimately leads to superior playing performance.
It's fast, agile, and a lot of fun.
For the collector, yo-yo serial number matches the custom made waterproof, crushproof, dirtproof Pelican case, one of the finest packages we have ever offered."
Officially released February 22, 2022 (2/22/22). Pre-released February 4, 2022. The pre-release ordering process let you choose from 90 non-contiguous (random) serial numbers. The total production run was 200 pieces.
The matching serial numbers on all the yo-yos and cases in the Catch 22 2022 release were a bit confusing. YoYoFactory's website gave no information about them either. The serial number on the yo-yo in this exhibit is "021-22-13-2021". Here is how I think the serial number breaks down:
• "021" – The yo-yo's exclusive serial number. Engraved only on this yo-yo and its metal case label.
• "22" – May be either the number from "Catch 22" or the year it was released. Engraved on all 200 yo-yos and metal case labels.
• "13" – It is unknown what this number represented. Engraved on all 200 yo-yos and metal case labels.
• "2021" – May be the year of Catch 22's manufacture. The yo-yo was not released until February 2022. Engraved on all 200 yo-yos and metal case labels.
