exactly^ while there can be benefits to it, collecting does not = value. Rarity increases future chance for value but even then doesn't mean a disc will be worth crap.

Ummmm.... There will always be outliers in any run of discs and this seems to be that case IMO as I've been throwing ce for over 13 years aggressively and have had ZERO issues. Destroyers may never last at the rate they're going but I'm almost certain ce will hold its value. They are some of the original discs of our sport and there will always be someone who wants a piece of that history!
Prodigy, in my opinion, was a great strategic move. You form a new disc company and enlist all the top, up and coming pro's. Release a bunch of one off discs, special blends, limited runs and you'll have people fighting over discs and throwing money around like candy.

If you are collecting any latest run within the last few years and paying FB prices in hopes of seeing a ROI I do not see it. Problem is everyone else is doing the same. The older and rare stuff will probably still have value down the road though. Same as rare old baseball cards, a Mickie Mantle, Babe Ruth or Honus Wagner. Once everyone found out they were collectable then the game was over. I bought cards as a kid and the only ones that did well were the rarer old ones. All the new ones were a waste of money. I did trade my friend for a couple Jerry Rice Rookies though that worked out well, though I forget what I gave him. haha.
For the purpose of collecting, it is very much the same animal. Coin collectors could spend their coins, but they don't. Stamp collectors could put their stamps on their mail, but they don't. If someone buys an expensive disc for throwing, and hereby exposing it to potential damage and/or loss, well, they're not collecting it.
No they're worth more because somebody is willing to pay more for them. The rationality of the reasoning behind why they paid that much is irrelevant.
Or because they think a bigger sucker is going to come along later.
You shouldn't. They're not your discs. Its not your money. And if you're more into discs because of how they fly, there's no need to spend money on boutique plastic because there's always a production run of something out there that will perform just as good. If you can't realize that, you have the same wrongheaded thinking a lot of these people paying out the nose for stuff that's not all that exceptional are.
*pin prick*
Am I missing something about this destroyer?
SEVEN THREADS BECOME ONE!
Wow. $100 for an S/DS. That's insanity. I like that the OP knew it was insanity, and threw a disclaimer up there.
