This original lithograph Duncan YoYo poster from the 1930s was designed by French artist Raymond Gid and is being auctioned next month by Poster Connection with a starting bid of $6,400.
It’s a beautiful illustration, and listed in “A-” condition, which is pretty incredible for something that is 80 years old.
This is sure to be the gem of any yoyo collection, although it may be out of the price range of most collectors. Full details below…good luck!

YoYoJam dropped some more rarities up on eBay including more Synergy prototypes and a crazy lighting prototype Dark Magic…definitely worth checking out if you’re a YoYoJam collector!
YoYoJam is digging into their archives and offering up some rarities and prototypes on eBay, with more models to be listed in weeks to come. Some cool stuff up right now, including a couple of prototypes with the ill-fated Synergy caps. Check the widget below for their current auctions but hurry…they’re 3-day auctions so these YoYoJam prototypes will be gone soon!
Looks like Valerie from YoYoJam is selling a rare, unproduced prototype yoyo called the “Edge”
that was “designed in cooperation with Japanese players”. Was this going to be another signature model for Mickey before he left YoYoJam? (EDIT: Just got word from Takahiko Hasegawa that this was originally intended to be a signature model for Tomonori “Black” Ishiguro, but the shaped changed from what was eventually produced and offered in limited quantities at the World YoYo Contest.) No idea, but it sure is shiny and if there’s one thing we like here at YoYoNews….it’s stuff that is shiny.
Only five of these were ever produced, and this auction is for what appears to be the only one remaining in Valerie’s personal collection. The auction is only going for another day and change, so get your bids in soon!
