The abbreviation NQP stands for Not Quite Perfect. These are yoyos that have slight imperfections or flaws in the aesthetic that have no affect on the throw or performance of the yoyo. An example might be that when they anodized the metal to add the color-way, the color didn’t quite lay flat, or the coloring didn’t take to a part of the body. Ultimately, these same high-performance yoyos are discounted, despite performing exactly the same. This particular flaw is a visible line around the top of the cup.
