What is this disc worth?

[cali]

Haha yea. It's rough though I only get so lucky every once in a while. The guys who work there usually grab anything worthwhile before it even gets to the shelf.

Booter or someone needs to post some pics to show these kids what pearly plastic is.

Just because someone was drinking at the Innova factory and spilled some dye on your disc and it looks cool doesn't make it pearly.

Mine doesn't look pearly in my picture because I had bad lighting and a bad camera. I know a pearly disc when I see one.

That wraith ain't no pearl kid.

Swirly not pearly.

Does a Pearl disc have to be rare to be desirable?

I'm guessing this is an X-out, but for the life of me, I can"t find anything wrong with it. Champ Teebird, 9/10 condition with no ink

 

[dgdave]

Not an X-Out. Custom stamp

 

[agent_peebody]

and i wouldn't call that one pearly either. "streaky" maybe...

 

[Sean Johnson]

Yeah, just a transitional disc really. It lacks the pop of a true pearly beauty.

this is a tranny disc:

15-20 for the wasp and comet. Many buying the wasps are trying to stockpile to sell when the users run out so they want to buy cheap for more profit. They were a lil inconsistant so throwers are picky.
That comet is the stamp collectors look for ( I'm interested if it's 10/10) but since the esp's turned out so nice, most throwers prefer ESP, especially since they're usually only a few bucks more.

I think that it is a TP Comet.

Not TP from what I understand, just old X plastic. worth around $15 new.

 

[agent_peebody]

k, i'll be the noob. what's TP?

 

[Frank Delicious]

Tournament Plastic. An old precursor to X plastic and very nice plastic. Three Putt would know exactly when it was made but I think it was made in th mid to late nineties then DC switched to their first X plastic (I forget what it was called) and then they went to Elite X.

 

[agent_peebody]

so it's kinda like "pro line" and "pro" with innova?

 

[Frank Delicious]

It's actually more complicated than that. I still don't know super well how to tell TP from the old X plastic.

 

[Three Putt]

TP showed up in '93 with the Cyclone, which is why a lot of old farts like me call it "Cyclone Plastic." There were some Shadows that were in a TP-ish type of plastic that I saw before the Cyclone, but they could have been later for all I know.

The "transition plastic" Mr. Delicious mentioned was Elite Pro. In the late 90's both Innova and Discraft were introducing their first "professional" plastic lines. Innova did it by running the new plastic in old molds and introduced the KC Pro discs. Discraft did it by introducing new discs in the new plastic. The first Elite Pro disc was the X2, then the XL, MRX and APX. The old TP discs (Cyclone, Comet, HD Hawk, Stratus, X-Clone, Cyclone 2) continued to be run in TP.

At some point Z was introduced, TP was discontinued and Elite Pro was reformulated into X. The old TP discs at that point were converted into D, X and/or Z runs. It seems like it all happened about at the same time; '01-'02-ish. I'm not aware of any Elite Pro runs or the TP discs, although it wouldn't shock me to find out that there were some.

Anyway, AFAIK the Comet in the picture should be TP.
