9 Most Expensive Disc Golf Discs Ever Sold

| |

Disc golf was pioneered by Ed “Steady” Headrick, who patented both the frisbee and the Disc Golf Pole Hole. The combination of them eventually became a well-known niche sport, becoming organized in 1974. This led to the founding of the DGA in 1975 and eventually the modern competition circuits known as the Disc Golf Pro Tour.

While to the uninitiated, the discs used in disc golf may look like ordinary frisbees, the discs are manufactured for speed and performance in a professional sports setting. Some are limited editions and signed by the sport’s most famous athletes, which drives their prices in the aftermarket.

9. Sockibomb Innova LVC Destroyer

Price: $545
Year: 2021
Weight: 175g
Color: Black

The Sockibomb Innova LVC Destroyer has an insane speed rating of 12 but a -1 turn rating, which means this disc is for overstable long-distance driving. It’s a disc of choice for power shooters and players who throw with their sidearm. Due to its impressive speed rating, it can handle headwinds if you know how to use it.

The Destroyer discs are not recommended for inexperienced players. For pro-level throwers planning a match with a consistent flight path and potentially hazardous weather conditions, the disc is a serious high performer.

A specific example listed as the 2021 LVC Limited Edition was sold on eBay for $545.

Did you know?

The disc is labeled “Ricky Wysocki, 2017 LVC Champion” above its reflective graphic of a Japanese-style flying anime mech. Wysocki has been a pro disc golfer since 2010 and is currently on the DGPT Disc Golf Pro Tour. He was the Tour Points champion in 2016, 2017, and 2021.


8. Paul McBeth First Run Esp Buzzz

Price: $611
Year: 2006
Weight: 177g
Color: Black

The midrange discs known as the Paul McBeth Buzzz series were incredibly popular for a reason — they are commonly considered among the most comfortable and stable flyers in the whole sport. They’ve been available for over a decade, but they’ve recently become much rarer, selling for hundreds when first-run discs in new condition come onto the market.

That was the case with this disc, a Paul McBeth Esp Buzzz that sold earlier this year for $611. According to the manufacturer, Discraft, the Buzzz disc series is the most popular competition disc in the world.

Did you know?

The Buzzz disc is a midrange disc with a speed rating of 5 and a glide of 4. With a turn rating of -1, it should be clear that this is one for people who want to make accurate midrange shots in the open, not trick shots. At 177g, it’s the heaviest disc on this list.


7. Discraft Paul McBeth Z Zone

Price: $659.99
Year: 2019
Weight: 173g
Color: Sparkle black/grey

The Discraft Paul McBeth Z Zone disc was sold earlier this year in mint condition for $659.99, making it one of the pricier golf discs not made by Innova. It came in a sparkle black and grey color configuration with the yellow Discraft stamp in the center of a tinted clear disc.

This putter has a speed rating of 4 and a glide rating of 3. For overstable shots, this disc is considered a go-to, though you may not want to play with this expensive, unused disc after paying nearly $700 for it.

Did you know?

The professional disc golfer Paul McBeth lent his name to this series of discs after winning his fourth consecutive PDGA World Championship title. In 2019, he won it again for 5 wins in total. In the past 9 years, he has won either 1st or 2nd place in every championship.


6. First Run Kastaplast Berg K2

Price: $666
Year: 2015
Weight: 173g-174g
Color: Black and turquoise

A pair of First Run Kastaplast Berg K2 discs sold in May 2022 for $666. They’re from 2015, making them some of the older discs available (the professional disc golf circuits had not even been finalized at that point). According to the seller, the discs are in lightly used condition, only used a few times to put around a warehouse. They have never been played in a game.

The two discs are a gram different in weight and colored differently. Otherwise, they are the same First Run Kastaplast discs. K2 plastic is similar to K1 but was made to be more flexible and easier to grip.

Did you know?

The Berg is a flyer with a low speed rating but a straight aim. It doesn’t have much glide but makes up for it with stability and low levels of fade.


5. Innova Halo Polecat Collector’s Edition

Price: $694.20
Year: 2022
Weight: 173g
Color: White and blue

The Innova Halo Polecat Collector’s Edition discs were released on April 1, 2022. They were made in a limited-edition set of 100, with the ones listed here labeled as 61/100. These PDGA-approved discs come with a Rick Roll Music Player.

This disc is a straight-flying putter that prioritizes its easy-grip DX plastic to be both a beginner-friendly and professional-level playing disc. A pair of these Halo Polecat discs was sold on eBay earlier this year for $694.20.

Did you know?

Polecat discs are not built for speed (their speed rating is 1). Their claim to fame is staying the course – they are designed to be the straightest-flying professional discs on the market, which they accomplish not only with their grip and material but a deep rim and tall (about 2.3cm) dome.


4. OTB Open Signed Innova Pig

Price: $699
Year: 2021
Weight: 175g
Color: Beige

Instead, the seller on eBay brought the disc to Swenson Golf Course to be signed by the players, which include Page Pierce, Calvin Hemiberg, Paul McBeth, James Conrad, Eagle McMahon, Nate Sexton, Gregg Barsby, and 7 more.

Did you know?

The OTB Open is an event that is part of the Disc Golf Pro Tour, which began in 2016, founded by Steve Dodge and Nate Heinold. It is the highest competition circuit for disc golf and includes men’s and women’s divisions for both the Silver Series and Elite Series.

Color: Clear

We had to list the price for this golf disc as being less than $799 because eBay does not list the actual sale price when a best offer is accepted. However, we assume this Nate Sexton 2020 LVC Limited Edition disc golf disc sold for around that much based on its valuation on other sites.

Uniquely, this disc is clear in the center with the Firebird red stamp and a gummy black edge. The Firebird discs by Innova are known for superior stability, especially when throwing drives into the wind or long-range flex shots.

Overhead throwers flock to Firebird for their performance, though collectors flock to this one for its looks too.

Did you know?

The 2020 LVC or Las Vegas Challenge was sponsored by Innova in Henderson, Nevada. Nathan Sexton finished first, winning the $4,000 prize. Unused competition-sponsored discs like this one generally sell for a high premium.


2. Innova Nate Sexton Tour Series Glow Firebird

Price: $1,500
Year: 2015
Weight: 175g
Color: Aqua

The 2015 Innova Nate Sexton Tour Series Glow Firebird disc is one of the holy grails of disc golf collecting. This disc comes in several variations of aqua blue and green, though the one that sold on eBay earlier this year was blue.

The disc’s stamp is a complex graphic of the red firebird insignia with “Sexton Glow Firebird Tour Series” written within the fire of its wings. The disc sold for $1,500, making it one of the most expensive disc golf discs out there.

Did you know?

The most expensive disc golf disc is the Discmania Signature Series Sky God Lizotte disc. This disc has a stamp of the Sky God with embedded gemstone colors, designed by Manuel Trujillo. It was a limited-run disc in the dual-color configuration, so it’s highly valued on the aftermarket now.

A pair of Sky God Lizotte Discmania discs sold earlier this year for $2,750 (one was aqua and the other was black). They also come in other colors like pink and yellow if you can find them.

Did you know?

The Sky God P2 stamp’s wings have a reflective gold foil that makes the disc even shinier and more desirable. Look for the dual-color configurations where Lizotte’s body and wings are multiple colors to find the really valuable examples.
