Natural Beauties

[zenbot]

I thought it would be cool to have a thread of good looking discs that haven't been altered. Just crazy stuff happened at the factory and out they came. I started collecting them and later found out there was a market for natural beauties as Marshall Street calls them or pretties as they say at Sylmar.

Here's a few of mine.

174 Star Beast, 175 Star Cro 1st run, 170 KC Pro Roc 12x.

Here a couple that I got recently.
The StarTL is a mint green color in the middle w/1" band of gray around the outside edge.

The true color of the Skeeter doesn't show up in the pic, it is actually a bright green w/purple swirl type pattern in the center fading out toward the edge.

Lightning Discs used to do a lot of swirl discs Here is an old one, an F-8-f Bearcat:

Here is another, an F-14 Tomcat:

The picture didn't come out so great. In person it looks nice.

This one is an early Gateway Sabre.

When GDS started making discs they didn't have a machine to hotstamp discs. The info was an ink stamp on the bottom.

An Innova Moray. I think I posted this somewhere on this site already.

Ahh...Is this one that the n00bs would've bought but the plastic sucked, right?

It's possible that I learned something from your lectures.

I had a Sabre and a Blaze similar to this. The Sabre was grey with red and orange specks mixed in. The Blaze was also grey but it had red, white, orange, and black instead. They both looked verry sweet and had the same style bottom stamp that was drawn on with an ink pen. They were some sweet disc and I still wish I had them. They were ebayed for cash when I got hitched.

I like these. I wish my old TL and Skeeter looked that cool.

Thanks! I bought them from DGC, so I only had a vague idea of what they looked like. The Skeeter was suppose to be light green (which it was), but came in with the dark purple stamp and swirls, it looked good against the green. The TL, I actually called and asked what color it was because it was listed as "multiple". Still only had a vague idea, but was very pleased with it when it came in.

Uh...that you were a n00b once and it's a pretty disc?

Actually, in person that disc looks suspiciously like the same colors you would find in a soiled baby diaper. It was in our office for years. I have no idea how long it was there becasue it was already there when I got hired. It was still in my inventory three or four years after the airplane stamps were OOP. I bought it to get it out of there. The # 2 Slice was a good-selling disc for me, and the baby-**** brown disc that never sold was messing up my inventory. My wife put it on ebay a couple of times, but it's still here.

I've given up getting rid of it. Maybe I should try throwing it. Good luck finding that thing!

Hey, look at that. Thanks.

This one is a little different:

No swirls in this one. They didn't get the mix right on this round of plastic and the resin just streaks across the flight plate. It's sorta cool, in a geeky disc golf sort of way.

BTW, this disc is a proto Apache from the first time GDS released a disc with that name.

This reminds me of a very long round I played with a guy that kept losing his camo dyed disc. I wanted to strangle him.
