Picture
When I first got this I used the photo on a Blog post, must have been 4 years back, at the time I was also involved in the trade/sale of a second nicer one, crazy how when it rains it pours! I think Kirkland got the nicer one!, This is on a WPP1, why do you ask, well when Fred started his deal with Wham-o he got discs from them & he had extra stickers so here you go, could be fewer labels than AT discs.

I won this American Trends Pluto Platter on e bay a few days ago, ( 2013 ) that makes 3! I paid twice what I have paid for the next highest disc,in my collection, $1,600.00. so few of these discs around I value it at $2,500.
Picture
Gave her a little cleaning.
Picture
this one is the best condition of the 3 I have!
Picture
this one has seen some play, it displays from the top much better, WALL HANGER!

Pipco ( 1950 ) FS 2/3 Li'l Abner's Flyin Saucer, AKA Pipco Crab, Arcuate Vanes. Yes you can find these for cheaper but in my book these historic discs have a $400 value ( each )
Picture
The FS1,2 & 3 are interesting because the plastic is always evolving & changing, when first made they were all flat, all of mine had a mountain or point to them. I got this one because the plastic has shifted the opposite way more of a volcano look.
Picture
Different look at above disc.

Picture
A rare white Giant Mystery " Y " from Empire Plastic corp. Value $825.
PictureAs you can see I have a yellow Empire Plastics Giant Mystery "Y" ( above ) also a white that I got from Charlie Burke, some people think the white is a Wham-o, below is a white in a Wham-o package. I wanted to put the 2 white side by side to show a difference in the color, above the disc seems more white than it really is, side by side you can see that the disc on the left is more yellow in color. Could be from the start of the run or the end of the run. Donn Blake thinks they are from different runs, none have the Wham-o 4 nicks on the cupola. Some collectors say Empire plastics never did a white run, thinking out loud Wham-o did a test run then retooled the mold? Donn also pointed out a small difference on the ejector pin area on top of the disc. Donn thinks this disc on the left is a Empire Plastics disc as does Charlie, not sure how to clear this up but there are a few different ideas. To see My Giant with the Wham-o nicks look under Wham-o.

PictureWham-o test run before the nicks on the cupola, in a Pro package, disc looks to big to me! New condition with a crack still has a $700 value in my book!

Picture
from a private collection. Value $1000, this one is funny, I saw it in Victors book & I always chased it because I did not have it, No one ever talked about it much, come to find out that it dates back to one of the earliest flying discs! Flying- Saucer was first in 1948, Not a disc but a ring the Sky-Pie was from 1949, The Space Saucer shows up along with the AT Pluto Platter in the mid 50s as does this disc, now you know, I had the mold for the Sky -Pie, got it from Ralph Williamson, You know him? 10 X Disc Golf World Champion not in the Hall Of Fame. Anyway, it was a 500 lbs paper weight, you can see a picture of my boy Curtis helping me take it apart, WE got the top & bottom plates among with the push pins & traded them to Kory Stone, Kory did a display box with them, I need to contact him for a photo, to see the picture of Curtis look under other things!.
