Getting Started

What this site is, and your first five minutes.

Your first 5 minutes

A quick tour to get you comfortable. No account needed for the first few steps.

1. Browse a release

From the top menu, tap Releases. Pick any stamp that catches your eye. On a release page you'll see:

  • The stamp artwork (the big image)
  • Variant chips (little colored badges — tap one to swap the image to that version)
  • A Technical Registry listing which molds and plastics it was printed on
  • A community gallery of photos from other collectors

2. Try a search

Tap the Search bar (or press ⌘K / Ctrl K). Type a stamp name, a mold, or a Golden Goose Gang member. Results appear grouped as you type.

3. Try search-by-image

Have a disc but don't know its stamp? Open search and tap Search by image, or go to the Lens page. Drop in a photo and it'll find the closest matches. (More in Finding Discs.)

4. Make a free account

Tap Sign up (top right), enter an email and password, and confirm from the email we send. Full steps in Your Account.

5. Add your first disc

Find a release you own and tap Add to collection — or upload a photo of your disc and check Add to collection while you're at it. Then visit My discs to see it.

That's the whole loop: browse → find → track → contribute. Everything else in this help center is a deeper dive on one of those steps.

Quick answers

What is Goose Gang Discs?

Goose Gang Discs is a community catalog of every custom-stamped disc golf release from DFX Discs. Think of it as a fan-built encyclopedia: every stamp, the discs it was printed on, who drew the art, and photos from collectors like you.

Goose Gang Discs vs. DFX Discs — DFX Discs (dfxdiscs.com) is the retailer that sells the discs. Goose Gang Discs is the community catalog that documents them. This site doesn't sell anything — it's here to catalog, track, and celebrate the collection.
