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. 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 ( 3 if you count American Trends ) to have an example of each style of Pluto Platters. 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.

Welcome to Whinecountry!

Me & brother Ted Barber. Ted has some of the sweetest Champion Edition plastic you have ever seen!

My player rating is at a all time low! Who cares when you are playing the game in Tahoe! 6/17, Collage course.

Even when you shit the bed it is not all bad, I did have a ACE on a crazy wooded hole, Oh & that par 5 forgot the #, could be 16 going up hill the entire way, got a 4 on that! Tahoe 6/17, Collage course.

Hearing someone screaming because of a ACE & knowing it was my cousin Shawn, priceless! That is him in the center. Tahoe 6/17. Collage course.

Disc Golf is evolving here in Napa, familys are playing our great sport, thanks in part to the user friendly lower 9, this photo is of the Lewis family & they played in the 22nd Vintage Cup!

Madison stops by the Frisbee cave!

Ryan & Kayden watch & wait patiently as I finish up another day of updates.

Proud to say Vintage Cup has been a Nor Cal series events every year starting in 1995.

One of 3 different art used in 1992.

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.

Great photo of my boys from the Nor-Cal finals in Monterey 2004!

Took my oldest to Las Vegas for his 21st a few years ago, you know we had to get in a round of Disc Golf!

Not the best photo but that is me with Disc Golf Hall of Fame Member Tom Schot. I got to spend a little time with him before the 2011 Worlds.

7 1/4' disc.

A holiday round with Jake and Austin.

A visit to Reno to play some disc with cousin Shawn.

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.
