That's like a gap in disc golf knowledge, man. You shouldn't be giving them away, you should be documenting that. DGA working with Lighting is nothing I've ever heard or read of anywhere.
I was unaware of that gap.
With Ed's autograph on discs, I believe in sharing historical discs with people I believe will appreciate them, I think I sent one to couple of guys through DGCR who have run contests in Fantasy Football/March Madness stuff when I have done (IE won) well. And a few others when I thought it was worth sharing. I gave a couple sets away back when I ran the Tuesday night league at Dretzka Park.
I also gave away lots of Ken Climo signed discs back then as well(while at the Fox Valley event), he had inquired about some of my old Vipers and so we did a trade...
Dealing with Ken was really funny, I had run in to him in Clearwater playing in league (him not me) there. Probably like 1994, they ran league on Sundays starting at like 11am. It was during football and since the Packers weren't nationally televised that week I went to play Cliff Stephens unaware league was going. I caught Kens group on like the third hole and he offered to let me play through. I declined with the comment that I hadn't played there before and wouldn't mind following their group, that way I could throw multiple shots.
A couple of holes later I caught them at a tee again and Ken made the same offer to let me play through. Again I declined, saying I would rather follow them since they looked like knew were they were going. That is when he introduced himself to me...
"Hi, I'm Ken Climo"
I replied, "oh I think I heard of you"...
he asks if he can look at my discs, I said sure...
He glanced in my Neon Green (wish I could remember the manufacture) bag and pulls out a whole handful (Rocs and Vipers, like 4 of each) and without missing a beat asks "you want to sell these?"
I declined with, "not really they are kind of what I throw the most."
Finished the rest of the round, and Ken was waiting to ask again.
Of course I declined again.
I did ask why they have league on Sunday during football season...
I said in WI that would be really unattended because you know "Packers"
He replied..."Buccaneers"
and I'm like..."Oh yeah"
Ran into him at the following KCWO. he remembers me and again inquires about if I am willing to sell some of my Rocs and Vipers. I said I had heard he was coming to the FVO later that year and he said he was. I said I didn't have much with me in KC, but if he brought some of his custom stamped stuff (Innova was just starting to do them for him) we would work something out. He showed up in Appleton with boxes of stuff (he probably sold everything I didn't get), we negotiated a deal of 2 or 3 (memory is shaky on this) of his new stuff for one of my used and inked Vipers. He ended up getting like six of my Vipers
But before we swapped I said that wasn't good enough...
He looked at me like I had lost my mind...
I said he had to autograph all the discs I got from him so I could give them away leagues...
He signed every single one of them.
So at my leagues I gave away probably 50-60 signed Ken Climo or Ed Headrick discs.
The shock on the players faces were priceless...
Sorry for the thread drift...
