Marvin's Flying Disc Collection

Hello I am Marvin P Paul and I have a collection, only one thing that I collect and that is Flying Discs. My wife may dispute that guitars would be a close second. I have many collecting friends and most of them have a niche inside Flying Discs, it could be Antiques, Wham-os, Golf Discs, K-9, Minis, Mimetic, and Novelty. I collect all kinds of flying discs. I have just over 5231 discs, & I have heard of a few larger collections! There are a few missing items that I am still looking for, a daily internet search helps me fill the gaps. As far as I know I am one of only four people (counting American Trends 13 known to collectors) to have an example of each style of Pluto Platters. Welcome to the club Father Lyle. How hard was that? It took almost 10 years to do. The first Run of the first plastic flying disc, got one of those! Very few (could be less than 8) exist. I love Golf Discs but the history on old plastic is becoming lost. Here I hope to share pictures and information on all things that are Flying Discs. The collection pinnacle pieces are now housed at www.carneros-studios.com in the Napa Valley. The pride of my collection is on display & now some of the collection pieces are being sold so my disc friends can all have a piece of the flying disc's long history.

Welcome to Whinecountry!

Years ago I found myself in New York playing some Disc Golf, I think it was 2002, I played Warwick! Later that day I ended up in New Jersey and played Buzzys, there I got a chance to play with Steve, very nice guy, I was glad to see that he became the 2013 USDGC Champ!

Also nice to see a Champ using discs like the Sentinel, not to many folks throwing these, could be more now!

My friend Phil Kennedy at Maple Hill, Phil has THE best collection of Pluto Platters.

Came across this photo of a disc I sold for DGA, nice signature, just wanted to point out the Factoring that was done to this disc, see the shaved rim? I have never seen the machine that was used to do this but I heard that it was like a record player.
