Thought I had enough discs, but then discovered different plastics so I’m fast approaching 20 discs now.

One other thing to note especially for older players is don't get caught in the max weight "myth". Sure pros and elite players (who throw 500+ feet) get benefits from max weight drivers mere mortals that don't play in wind tunnels (ie Emporia KS) can get a distance advantage by looking for lighter drivers. They suck in high wind but even if it is all you have in your bag you can work around it by throwing level and giving up some distance.

Discs are an addictive part of the sport even if you don't collect them. I carry 7 of the same driver mold each with a different flight pattern from a couple I can turn over to really heavy fade. I have several of each in reserve which cuts down on the angst of losing your favorite disc.

Most of the people I know that came from a golf background become disc whores because it is relatively cheap. I am forever checking the Infinite and Marshall Street websites to see if they have any of my favorite discs in just the right color/plastic/weight in stock.
