Whats the best way? I was using thumbtacks but the discs would never stay straight, plus the holes in the wall.
Thanks

I use thumb tacks with a slight angle down. Never had any problems with that. For a more professional, consistant look, you could take some sort of wood product and put a groove in it. Make some sort of shelf out of it.

I use thumb tacks. While there will be a thousand holes in the wall its a small price to pay when you get to view your beauties all day, everyday!!!

Depending on the color of the paint on the wall, white toothpaste works real well to mask the holes, instead of spackle. You can fill the holes with your fingers quite easily.

And your wall will smell minty fresh.

I use the display racks that are used in stores to display discs. They even come with the disc names to put on the rack.

There is a pic right here.

First I put each disc in a 1-gallon ziplock bag.
Then I pound a 1" nail into the wall and push the upper portion of the bag (above the disc) onto the nail.
The disc leans on nothing - touches nothing - except the plastic bag (which helps protect it from fading or discoloration.

However, I've found that gravity works on plastic. The discs that have been hanging up for more than 10 years (just on nails - without a bag) are starting to warp - becoming slightly taller than they are wider. To offset this, every disc gets bagged and rotated 180 degrees every year.

Man, I sound obsessive! :D

I prefer to display my discs in these (http://display-case-showcase.com/GlassDisplayCases/high_security_vitrine_display_case.htm) :D

I also have a locking cabinet which holds about 350 discs. It's full of my personal throwing stock.

I've got approx. 800 discs in oak book shelves. Some are in those plate / picture frame that stand up. I've got the rest of the 1200 + discs in zip lock bags in platic box's. One more in a shadow box.

When I did have them on the wall I used push pins.

throwing stock in those grey disc bins they sell @ pdga.com then I put collectibles in plastic bags and stack them on my shelves in my closet, and anything i want out in the open is two push pins with those big plastic backs so they hang and dont swing,

Wow you guys have a lot of discs. All of mine are in my bag!

I'm thinking you should turn them 90�. 180� should just stretch them in the same direction from the opposite end. :)

I prefer a noose hanging from the ceiling.

man you guys a nuts! display cases and nooses! geez, figure next time I will ask about disc flight and get reponses about hot dogs.

Maybe the secret is to hang digital pictures of discs on your wall. It's a lot cheaper than buying 2001 USDGC Rocs :eek: :D

Including the cost of the brand new camera, its still cheaper!!! :p

Has anyone had any problems hanging discs? Ive heard talk about nail heads leaving hanging marks on inner rims. Ive also heard of smoke damage discoloration.

take it from me... i have plaster walls that i can not put holes in with out a drill gun....(and would prefer not to.. i want that security deposit back!)
you can get those little plastic hook things with the two sided super stickytape (dont know what they are called). works great. they do not hold anything that is very heavy, but they hold a disc like they are made for that particualr job. you can get these at home depot, lowes, or any craft store. in the 7 months i have been here, i have not had a disc fall off the wall. and they are cheap... a pack of 8 is like 2 bux.

Smoke damage yes, Good friend of mine had a white first run XL hanging in his bedroom where he smoked a few different substances, now he has a dirty yellow first run XL... It is disgusting what cigarette smoke does to things. Man I need to stop smoking...


I keep my discs in the rubbermaid tubs.

Hey! I was only kidding about the high security display case. :D:confused: :D

However, I do periodically rotate my push pins 180 degrees to keep them from going out of round. :D/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif :D

Smoking certainly exacerbates the problem but even in a smoke-free room, exposure to UV light will turn any white disc yellow over time. Some plastics will be affected differently but all suffer. Colored discs will be affected too so hanging a disc on the wall is always going to damage it, shape-wise and color-wise.
