A rare white Giant Mystery " Y " from Empire Plastic corp. Value $825.
As 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.
Wham-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!
