 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

A collectible, yo-yo-themed trading card from a 1992 Sesame Street trading card set, specifically card #41 featuring Bert with a yo-yo. The set, produced by Idolmaker Inc., was released in 1992 and featured 100 full-color cards—sold in packs of 10, with 36 packs per box. The cards highlighted characters and educational themes, covering letters, numbers, and scenes like the circus, farm, wild west, zoo, and yes, even yo-yos.
The front of the card shows the letter "Y" prominently, teaching children vocabulary through association. It features Bert, one of the classic Muppet characters, tangled up in yo-yo string while holding a red and white striped yo-yo. The caption reads: Y Bert with a Yo-yo, reinforcing the phonetic lesson.
The back of the card is titled "BERT'S YO-YO", with a humorous quote attributed to Bert: "I just love my new yo-yo. Ernie is teaching me how to do tricks with it. He says this trick is called 'Around the World.' He also said he’d come back soon and untangle me. Where is he? Ernie! Ernie!"
Copyright and production details at the bottom show it was made by the Children's Television Workshop and Jim Henson Productions, Inc., and printed in Canada. | |
