FINISHED! I got to the end. Photos are in. I will need to go back and check but it took 9 months of on and off working on it. Out of almost 4400 discs there are about a dozen that are missing from my list.
The crazy thing is I got 4 discs in the mail yesterday so it looks like I need to update my list! Vintage Cup is this weekend and I would usually pick different discs and display them. This year I will be using whole boxes so that it will be easy to put back. I am working to promote this site so that I feel people see my collection. I made a huge banner and had stickers made for the tournament this weekend. 
I have had many people contact me after seeing the site, people wanting information or wanting a disc! that is what makes this so much fun, I need to thank my youngest Jacque who one day had a simple idea " lets start a blog " , I guess I need to take a close look at the info for mistakes and I have a ton more discs I could add many more  like USDGC ROCs  but for now I am  happy to think that I can sleep in for a change!

I know you plan to make your site searchable. Any plans to create the ultimate catalogue of existing discs (and pictures) including other collectors and possibly discs you don't have? I could see the site become a collectors clearing house. I collect Pros, but have other discs. I would trade them in a heartbeat for Pros I don't have. Any thoughts?

Joe, That would be the next step. Phil Kennedy had the idea for a shared site for everyone to use many years ago. I like the idea and will look into it. Have you heard of a # 14 green Pro with a 1974 Rose Bowl label? I have one but have not seen a second.

The green pros never had Rose Bowl labels although I have seen some and had predicted them for 30 years. At the 74 Rose Bowl, competitors were given a tour of the Wham-O facility and allowed to pick up any of the discs that were there. It was the chance for most of us to get a complete set of Rose Bowl discs: 2 white pros,2 yellow pros, 2 fire orange pros, blue and orange super pros, black and white Masters and the square top fastback. The green pros were for the Wolfschmidt premium pro. A number of hot stamp rejects were available and were scarfed up (green). Most were deep or blurred hot stamps or overlap flaws in the rings. A few people managed to pick up Rose Bowl labels. Steady Ed was standing right there and said that it was a mistake for people to take the labels because oddities would be produced that were not in actual production and he thought that it would hurt collectors. I have had a chance to pick one up, the same for the minis with 74 Rose Bowl stickers, and chose not to.
