[Question] ID a disc or ask "What is the story on this disc...?"

[Mulligan McGee]

Does anyone know the story behind this disc? From the patent number I know its an eagle but I cant find anything on the stamp. The plastic is weird if feels something between pro and star and I don't know if you can see it in the photo, but the flight plate seems to be shedding. Anyone got any ideas?

I believe it is a disc golf monkey stamp.

you realize that all discs have the same patent number, right?

This is a KC Pro Gazelle, but I'm not sure if it is 10x or 9x. Is there a way to tell them apart?

It says "very long stable driver" on it and has a very grippy, smooth feel to it.

Nor Cal Series 1997 Stamp?

My buddy bought a beat Innova disc a few weeks ago from the guys here at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

The disc is yellow and has a "Nor Cal Series" / "Vintage Classic" / "Napa" / "1997" stamp on it.

The graphics are of a wine bottle with arms, throwing a disc into a basket.

I'll post a photo once I get ahold of the disc.

Anyone know what disc this might be? It looks to me like perhaps a Gazelle, but I'm not sure at all.

No way to tell without a pic.

IIRC, the 10x gazelles are gonna be bar stamped (100% on this one) and the 9x are going to be the circles stamp (99% sure)... hope this helps.

Even though Teebirds have Barstamp 9x's? Is it different for different discs?

I do now:doh:

Thanks man! I'm pretty sure it is a 10x but it's hard to tell because the disc is stamped like 4 times and I can barely read some of the stuff on it because it's faded.

There was a two-year gap between Climo's 9th in 1998 and his 10th in 2000. The stamp was changed toward the end of that two-year period. So the early 9x's have the circle stamp and some late 9X's have the bar stamp.

see, I didnt remember correctly. I thought I had seen eagles with both stamps but not gazelles.. oh well, onto the next.

I need a Rhyno Expert Zippertop

I have a 170g Champ Rhyno that seems to have the zippertop effect that I've heard about. So, can someone tell me how I can tell if mine is Zippertop. I would take a pic of the top, but all I have is a 3.2 megapixel phone camera or my built in webcam. But heres some pics of it anyway. Also, whats it worth if it is zippertop. It's 8/10 condition disregarding ink.

How you can tell if it's a zipper top.

Step 1: Take the back of your fingernail to the top of the flight plate, center of the disc.
Step 2: With slight pressure, drag finger towards rim of disc.

Did you hear or feel anything, kind of like ridges?
If yes, Congrats! You have a zipper top.

Value could be asked in this thread.
What is this disc worth? (Part III)

 

[nkhoury]

it has ridges, but only about an inch or so of ridges near the rim. And the other rhynos i have are semi-similar, so i figured id try to find out. I may try to get a pic to post.

Multiple Thumtracs?

 

[nkhoury]

no, just the only spot with the grooves is from the thumtrack about an inch or 2 in and thats is. it stops at the stamp. I have another rhyno thats pearly and has some zipper action too, so idk how to tell if one is legit.

 

[moose-mdg]

its mainly for the early ones...if it does not go from the very center all the way to the rim its not a true zipper top..ask booter about this...opcorn:
