Here's a >> LINK << for those who think I'm crazy & have no idea what a POG is

oh boy... the notorious flippo... I think I still got some stashed away hoping for them to gain tremendously in value....

some even in the original wrappers.... the crisps in that same wrapper might be a bit stale though........

i had the best POG Slammer. It was a happy smiling "not guilty" picture of O.J. Simpson on one side, and on the other was a sad "Guilty" picture of him. LOL man i wish i knew where that pog ended up.

^ hahahha! that sounds like an awesome one!

I dont remember what the packages looked like that the pogs came in... I remember stores always having the tubes. maybe they were in bins like Pinkie said when I used to buy them. My brother and me collected them but never played to win them with friends. What was cool is how some products or stores had their own pogs for free. Kids love free stuff. For Christmas one year my brother and me got the little machine that made your own pogs. THAT was legit! ;D

Roflmac @ the OJ Pog xD

Damn you K-ban i wanted that machine so bad. . . .

Pogs were good times. Used to stack em as high as possible, like a 17 inch column
and play from across the room : D

I remember how mad people would get and the near fights that broke when you won a pog off someone that they did not want to part with. Fun memories.

lol...friendships were won and lost just becuase of a piece of cardboard!

Zovistograt · Feb 3rd, 2008, 03:51 PM

For some reason, I think our entire town was devoid of Pogs and anything they may or may not have stood for.

I never heard of them until I found out about them on the Internet a year or two ago.

serendi3 · Feb 3rd, 2008, 08:51 PM

OMG! Lol ... yea I remember, the good ol' days!
