Fancy Paper Top

I know nothing about paper collectables, and this surprises me.  It must be quite rare.  I love the idea of using 2 segments of cork to hold the match stick.

I am guessing the starting price is high ($99) because these paper cut outs are unlikely to survive and are assumed rare.
I was going to print it and try it, but my ink-jet printer is out of ink so I'll have to wait.



The inner ring should alternate between yellow and orange and the second ring between red an purple. The outer ring probably between some cyan and teal, but I would like to see it.

I had another example in my files from the same manufacturers, but for tops with static patterns:



I have not yet printed and tried these, but they should give a continuous degrade of colors.
