Bronze award patches are much more common to find. According to the person that won this particular patch, he said, "As a kid, you never wanted to come in last place and so the [8 trick] patch never meant that much to me." The previous owner's memory may have been a bit foggy. This patch was more likely given as an award for successfully completing eight basic yo-yo tricks in front of a Duncan Yo-Yo professional demonstrator.
Contrary to what others have claimed or visually depicted in auctions, these 8- and 15-trick award patches with this same design theme did not go with the Duncan chevron-shaped award patch set.
