Post a profile picture of it. That will be the easiest way to ID it.
1991 Veteran's Park Open
Ok so people seem to the think the other disc is a Stingray. This one is definitely a higher speed disc.
The stamp says 1991 Veteran's Park Open. There is a sticker on the back that says 1st run Valkyrie but if the disc is actually from '91 that can't be the case. I posted a top view and a profile view. The tooling on the back says Innova Champion Discs Rancho Cucamongo.

My eyes are horrible so I can't really tell, but the disc in the pic looks like a Stingray to me. He said there was another Stingray there that should be the same vintage so I just wanted him to compare them to make sure.
The hotstamp has to be a reprint. Innova didn't even move to Rancho Cucamonga until 1994 or '95. There is no way possible for that disc to actually be from a 1991 event. I'd roll with the sticker on the bottom and say it's a Valk.
Isn't that still a Stingray?

I still have a 2000 Ice Bowl JLS around here someplace. It's funny because it has some qualities that make people think "CE" and they freak out over it, but at the time that these discs were out ('99-'00) nobody thought much about them. They were maybe what would have been called SE, which was late 90's Innovaspeak for "we are screwing around with our Pro plastic blend." They were grippy, but so was Discraft Elite Pro. It just really didn't seem like anything all that special at the time.
I don't think there is any real consistent market for it, but I've had people who have held it offer me a lot more than an old JLS is worth because they are sure it's some sort of CE blend. I didn't sell it 'cause I don't have the heart to rip people off. It's seriously just an old Millennium plastic driver.

Awesome. It's a great thrower and feels great. Thanks 3P.

I've had this for around 12 years. I believe it's from 1994. It's definitely an Innova, has the standard Innova bottom. The top says "Deuce Time Basket Seeker" and has skeletons holding discs, and baskets. Anybody have any clue what this is?

They were a great blend. I really, really like the '99-'00ish Millennium discs.
Do you just want to know what mold it is or do you want to know if somebody knows something about the stamp?I've had this for around 12 years. I believe it's from 1994.

If you just want to know the mold, you should tell us what the tooling says, what diameter is it (same as a Roc? Smaller than a Roc? Bigger than a Roc?) and tell us about the wing (does it have a bead? Does it look like a Roc wing?)
Most everybody else wants a profile picture, too.
I pretty much can tell you what an 90's Innova disc is if you tell me what the tooling says and compare it to a Roc.

The pink disc is a Champion Roc3. It's definitely fatter and taller than whatever my yellow, 173.3 gram, Innova disc I have is. Thanks for any possible info.

Maybe a Viper or an old Whippet?
What's the Diameter? Is it the same width as the Roc or is it smaller?
