I have been collecting flying discs for sometime. I consider things slow on the collecting front because I have a example of most things I want. Below you can see my wish list. Not much interesting on ebay or other sites, then I heard of these discs. This is a photo of 3 test shot ( each a different weight 148G, 160G and 179G ) transitional disc in-between the original Eagle and the PAT. PEND. Aero, a retooling of the original Eagle mold made these discs, I have heard of 4 other sets and a few extras. 1 set is held by John Ahart the other discs by Mark Molnar. I have heard of a single disc that is in the collection of Rob Toltzman. I was so excited to get these rare and historic discs!
But when I went to share with people on line and with many other collecting friends there was little interest. It was not like I was talking about Pluto Platters or or the evolution of the Flyin-Saucer, I am talking golf discs to Disc Golfers! I admit that I had hoped that my collection would go up in value over the years but what is happening is that history is being lost, the lack of interest in truly historic plastic seems to tell me that I would be lucky to get my money back on my collection. I guess collecting is much like the players you meet on the course, they come and go with only a few in for the long haul. I have fun and think I have a eye for " the good stuff " but each person has there own collecting interest . I got to Call Phil Kennedy I think he will find these interesting!
