Here we go...small bead mania with pics:
Aviar Putt & Approach from 1998. For a long time I had five Aviars in my bag; three small bead and two big bead. The big beads were the "Holy Mackerel" DX grid stamp and a 9X KC Pro. The small beads were the Billy Baroo, a "Two Decades of Disc Golf" White Birch Aviar and this disc. It had a purple stamp but the purple all wore off. Of the five discs, I cared the least about this one so knarly lies, water hazards and the like called for this disc to be thrown. Even up to about two years ago I was throwing it on high-risk putts and approaches. Somehow it never was lost.
The other small bead was this one:
I liked it becasue that was my stamp; my attempt at making art out of a picture I photocopied out of Disc Golf World News. (The yellow disc technically was my stamp as well; it was a joke stamp based off this one becasue we had replaced a bridge on the course to much bitching.) This was the most stable of the three small beads and I liked it off the tee. I ran into a dude a few years ago that told me he learned to play at White Birch; he was putting with a Hydra. I gave this disc to him. It seemed like the thing to do.
I ended up with this disc becasue it wouldn't sell. The Omega AP 1.1 and 1.2's had a two-color stamp but the 1.3's came out with a one color stamp. It was Millennium cutting back but they looked like misprints. I put this in the bag in the winter, the grip was better when it got cold.
And one last small bead:
One of my first putters. These were valuable in a 90's sort of way (think $15) so at some point I put it up and waited for somebody to offer me some money for it. I think I hit more trees than baskets with it. I really, really hated it but putter options were Aviars and...Aviars. I just had to get used to them.
