yep, try the Facebook Beast Collectors page if you have no luck here.
Thats a 1x Beast, OOP, probably find one for around 20-25 in that condition.
I would imagine the value would stagnate or go down after time now, Innova went back to the original Beast mold used in that era, many of the retailers (Marshall Street, Disc Golf Center, etc) are already showing Champ, G Star, and Pro runs with that tooling, so it should be pretty easy to get something that flies similar now, and newer discs should have less chance of cracking like the older era champs and ce plastic can do.
If I knew what type of plastic it is, and which modern plastic is similar, I'd go with that option. Any ideas?

To answer your question from earlier, OOP stands for out of production. Innova changed the beast mold years ago since the Orc had just came out and they were so similar, making the beast more understable. So what you have is one of the original mold champion beast.
Just recently Innova has started running original mold beasts again (thank you lord!) and if you are looking for something similar to what you have, the new champion plastic is going to be a little stiffer than what you have, and the Gstar beast is going to be softer than what you have. There might be some gummy new champion (its nickname is jolly launcher champ plastic) beasts, but ive only felt a few of them and all were on the stiffer side
heard barry mention the old beast was back in production. can anyone confirm?
It is! I've done a lot of research in the past 2 days, and it appears that it was an accident at the Innova plant. Their new mold broke, and the company they had used to make their molds apparently wasn't a option anymore (maybe because the cheap ass thing BROKE, I dunno), so they went back to their prior mold maker, and they accidentally made their new mold in their old pattern they had stored from way back, and so, now all new Beasts are from the "new" "old" mold design. (that's how I understood the story, anyway)
However, it seems that the new champion plastic is slightly stiffer than the original champion plastic, so that will make the disc slightly different. (again, to my best understanding from what I've been told in the past 2 days of research, I do not have both side by side to compare YET)
Far as i know molds are ticking time bombs ready to bust. Maybe jcassidy or others with molding experience can yay or nay.
I don't have a picture to upload, but I found a putter with a very worn tournament stamp. All that I can make out is an outline of texas. Anyways, I'm 100% its an innova disc and about 99% sure its an aviar. I have a couple other aviars in my bag and the disc looks and throws the same. The only difference is that this aviar is supper grippy and flimsy, so flimsy i can roll the thing up like a burrito. So my question is, what kind of plastic is this? As far as I knew, innova didn't produe any supper flimsy plastics
