I've lately taken an interest in collecting Put & Take spinning tops and bi-level tops. I now have on eBay what is perhaps the best and heaviest (72 grams) bi-level top. (Incidentally Zev was a famous race horse. Any idea what the other 5 sides are?)

One of the major Put and Take collectors (arguably the leading one) just died of cancer. He knew he was going soon, yet he was bidding on tops till the end, and he made this goodbye card (from photo of some of his tops) for his funeral. RIP.
