Brixton Disc Golf has steadily built momentum over the years, starting first with their OTB collaboration, then their initial Golden Era drop, and annual Tour Series products. Now they are taking everything they have learned and putting it into a single flagship DGPT product available now for preorder at Powergrip USA.
Ryan O'Neal, one of the owners of Brixton Disc Golf, described it this way: "The DGPT have had their flagship trading card product for a while now. Brixton has also had ours. This time, we merged it all together into one super product. If you watched Power Rangers, this is the Megazord version." It is designed not only for collectors, but for fans who have followed the evolution of disc golf trading cards.
A Transition Year That Sets Up the Future
Some people have wondered why the product says 2025 but will actually release in 2026. Ryan explained that this year marks a shift in how Brixton and the Disc Golf Pro Tour work together. "DGPT's calendar is moving back and ours is moving up. It is a transition year. When you grow your hair out, there is that tough middle stage where it is uncomfortable for a bit. This is that stage."
The result will be a consistent and easy-to-follow release calendar. According to Ryan, Tour Series cards will come out at the start of each season. The flagship product will arrive in July. The premium product will hit in November, right in holiday shopping season. He also noted that Brixton wants consumers to know exactly what type of product they are buying. "Not just when it comes out, but what it is. Tour Series, Flagship, Premium, that should be clear moving forward."
Three Million Decisions
Behind the scenes, building a product like this is enormous. It begins with identifying eligible touring pros, which requires at least six Elite Series or Major events played in the season. That list becomes the starting point for signing players, gathering photography, and collecting stats.
"Once we have the players, we design everything. Base cards, parallels, heroes and villains, subsets, sometimes city-themed sets. We look at rankings, big event winners, even just popular players." Ryan said they start with nothing more than a rough sketch. From there they work with designers on templates, foil patterns, numbering, and autograph versions.
Then comes the final details. "It is over three million items we have to set. Memorabilia, autograph cards, making sure odds are accurate, making sure the pack experience is right." Every autograph is signed directly on the card, so Brixton literally travels and mails cards around the world. "We had a big wave of Europeans this year. You have to track every card down, collect the signatures and still keep everything secure."
Even the order of cards inside each pack is planned so that collectors enjoy consistency. Once printing begins, the team is already deep into the next release. They currently have two presales open, with several more products already in development. That includes a new DGPT Slabs product. "It is slabbed like a graded card with a guaranteed auto. They will sell these on tour."
Powered by the Pros
One thing Ryan takes pride in is how connected Brixton's success is to the people competing on the course. "We pay 191 pros. They took a leap of faith with us. They are responsible for helping us sell everything." He admitted that when they first started, they had no idea whether players would buy in.
A major turning point came when Simon Lizotte bought a box from their first Golden Era release. Simon streamed himself opening it live. "Two thousand people were watching. Everyone was having so much fun. Within 24 hours, we sold out of everything we had. Simon genuinely enjoyed the product." That moment validated Brixton's mission. "We get to tell their story. Document they were here."
The relationship has continued to grow. Pros actively share the product and help bring more fans into the hobby.
What Collectors Can Expect
There is a lot to chase in this DGPT Flagship release and Ryan is clearly excited about several new features.
One of the biggest additions is Champ Certified Collabs. Brixton partnered with 12-time World Champion Ken Climo who personally selected twelve touring professionals to collaborate with. Each collaboration card has dual autographs, with only 12 copies made of each pairing. It is a direct nod to Climo's legendary career. "He will get the opportunity to do this each year. If he sees something in these players, we want to help highlight that."
Rookie Collabs have also been expanded and now feature dual autographs from two rookies on the same card.
Relic cards are gaining a major upgrade too. "In the past, relics were limited to maybe 20 people. Now over 100 players are included." Relic cards include game-used plastic or game-used fabric. Odds are much stronger than in previous years. "On average you will have three opportunities for an autograph or event-used relic in this product. Relics are so much fun to pull."
The Heroes set, which was part of DGPT's flagship product will return down the road, but this year fans will also meet the villains. "We did not want to eliminate the Heroes series. We just did not want to reprint the same cards. This expands the universe."
There is simply a lot in this release, and that is intentional.
Preorder Details
The Brixton DGPT Flagship product is now available for preorder at Powergrip USA. With bigger autograph lists, expanded relics, and more chase cards than ever before, it is already one of the most anticipated disc golf trading card sets ever produced.
Ryan hinted at much more coming soon. New products, new ideas, new ways to bring fans closer to the players who inspire them. There is a reason he calls this the Megazord era.
