I have a few stacks of discs that are stacked vertically like pancakes which are about 25 discs high. Is this damaging in any way to the discs? I want to make sure that I am not damaging them as I move some into long-term storage. So I ask, is there a proper way for discs to be stored? Is it better to stack them all on the rim (like they are in a disc golf bag) or laid flat like a stack of pancakes? Does it matter?

I'm not sure how high you can stack them but, I would recommend climate controlled storage.

I would not stack them. If they are worth collecting them each one goes into zip lock bag, then stood up in plastic bins. Away from direct sunlight.

If you want to get crazy like me, put a piece of paper towel over the stamp before putting in the Ziploc. And then make a file listing of your discs with a paper listing put into a "packing list" sleeve on the outside of the box!

Just taped up my Innova box filled with CE Roc's from every year! Can't wait to fill the next one.

Have you had stamps actually rub off? I've been collecting for over 20 years. I have approx. 500 in oak shelves stacked like records. I have not had any trouble with the stamps. I do have to dust them often.

I've had stamps stick to the Ziploc bag before. I just figure better safe than sorry. It also protects them from "stack wear". Moreover, I'm just being completely anal-retentive! :p My discs even stay in the same order in my bag, at all times!

One thing I noticed is, if you smoke in your house, make sure the collector's discs are bagged! I had a SuperColor Challenger sitting upside-down on a spindle of thread to get rid of the little nipple in the dome. About 10 days later when I took it down, there was a nice white spot where the spindle was! Whoops!

I wouldn't call that anal-rententive. I do the same thing, that way I can actually walk up to my lie with my bag on my back, reach around and pull out the disc I need without looking.

A local guy here keeps his color coded. His bag looks like a Rainbow! /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I keep my discs in the basket.

I buy the plastic bins at walmart for about $2-$3 they fit 20 or so discs in 1 bin.

I also line the bottom of the bin with that kitchen drawer liner that is soft and full of holes, so that the plastic is not rubbing on plastic bottom and it provides a soft bottom for the discs to rest on.

The bins stack nice/easy to carry/and can see whats inside, and are covered in disc golf stickers :D

That's illegal! You're holing out with more than one disc! ;)

Park, mine are ordered by distance, than stability. I actually do it because numerous times I have looked down and thought, "****, where'd I leave that one?"

Tafe,

Same here, with the utility discs such as the Gator and Extreme on the edges. It works out nicely that my fairway drivers and mids are in the middle of my bag, which are the discs I use the most.

When I get the chance I will take a picture of a rack to hold discs I built made out of PVC and pipe insulation. I got the idea and design from a guy up in Huntsville.

I try keeping like size discs together. Some drivers and mid-range discs have a larger diameter.

Humidity can be a factor , so yes , keep discs in a cool dry place , out of sunlight if possible.

Some of the older discs dry out and crack , so proper storage is essential in maintaining mint status !!!!!

It makes a real difference when collectors examine real closely !!!!!!

Just recently sold a complete series of 7 Original Aero's ( Mint ) to a collector who provided me a bid of $ 2,700.00
private collection.

So yes , take great care of your disc collection. It pays in the long run as a nice investment.

Who know's , maybe someday , you to will be lucky !!!!!

I plastic bag my collectible discs and store them like records.. but I don't press them together.. I leave enough space in the box so that they aren't jammed together.

In my bag my discs are always in the same order..

Most of the time I keep my discs in storage bins. I wanted a way to enjoy them though so I built this in my garage and I rotate discs through it every once in a while.

MAN!!! I have the exact same thing in my house!!!

that's awesome :D

Where can you get the disc holders pictured above?

Yes, it is very important to rotate 90degrees maybe twice a year.

I keep my collection on the walls and in boxes (in plastic bags and sorted by brand-name) in the my garage.
Try to keep the temperature around 15 degrees Celsius (Like a good wine ;))

My wife has little or no understanding in what I do :(, so the collection stays in garage except for a handul of nice looking frisbees from the 70-80�s.

It's my understanding that you can get the disc holders from Innova. I have a friend who used to have a disc golf store, so I bought some of them off of him when he closed it down.

He basically moved his entire store into a building he has on his property. The thing that makes it even better is that it's in the middle of his private 18 hole course. Some people know how to set it up.

If you come to play the Masters cup, it's possible to get a round in at his house for warm up. He always hosts at least a few players at his house and it's a common gathering place before and after.
