Pre-Owned Disc Rating System

A — Like New / Field Tested

Description:

• Appears new or nearly new
• Thrown 0–5 times, typically in a field
  
• No gouges, chunks, or warping
  
• Very light surface marks may be present under direct light
  
• Rim is clean with no abrasions

What to Expect:

• Flight is virtually identical to a brand-new disc
  
• Ideal for collectors, backups, or tournament play
  
• May include unthrown discs from players’ collections

Notes:

• Sticker residue or storage marks do not disqualify an A grade
  

B — Lightly Used

Description:

• Thrown casually for a short period
  
• Minor scuffs and light scratches
  
• Rim shows minimal wear
  
• No structural damage
  
• Ink may be present (small name/number)
  
  

What to Expect:

• Flight is extremely close to new, possibly slightly seasoned
  
• Perfect for players wanting near-new feel at a discount
  
• Great “workhorse” discs
  

C — Used / Seasoned

Description:

• Clearly used but well cared for
  
• Moderate scuffing and surface wear
  
• Rim wear is visible
  
• Ink is common
  
• No cracks or missing chunks
  
  

What to Expect:

• Disc may fly more understable than stock
  
• Excellent for players who prefer seasoned flight
  
• Fully legal for tournament play

D — Heavily Used

Description:

• Heavy cosmetic wear
  
• Noticeable gouges, deep scratches, or rim abrasions
  
• Significant ink or faded stamps
  
• May show mild warping but still usable
  
• No cracks or pieces missing
  
  

What to Expect:

• Flight characteristics are altered
• Best suited for rollers, utility shots, water carries, or backups
  
• Still throwable but not “pretty”
