anyone remember POGS??............ *time to reminisce*

[NotoriousJTC]

Good god, i remember the days when i used to collect those (im 18 now), i still have a small stack of those stored in my room somewhere, expensive little buggers too....


They were the "pokemon" or "beanie babies" of the mid ninetee's.. In grade school, if you didnt collect them, you werent cool, lol! Anyways, i want my money back...

 

[PrinceofWands]

you want YOUR money back??? I have over 25000 magic cards

 

[NotoriousJTC]

<< I have over 25000 magic cards >>



lmao... Don't get me started with those... I was too busy collecting hockey cards at the time to understand the damn game. My cousin, however, was like you, if it involved cards that possed magical powers, he would be collecting it. Magic: The Gathering, Star Wars, Marvel, you name it.. :frown:

 

[Czar]

I have a shoebox full of basketball cards... I wante money.. I want ebay

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

Ah, pogs. I've got tubes and tubes of those things out in the garage somewhere. I've also got 11 binders packed with basketball cards, I used to be a fanatic about collecting basketball cards. It kind of wore away though.

 

[Jfur]

POGs = Passion Orange Guava from Haleakala dairies. I got in trouble for selling F*** You! pogs at the swap meet

 

[HardcoreRobot]

The POG juice is just great! As for POGS, everybody knows the coolest part of that fad was the slammers.

 

[yakko]

I remember them. I have a few around here somewhere.

 

[geno]

I remember those, they were cool for like 6 months. Then their popularity died a horrible, flaming death as they disappeared from existance

 

[teckmaster]

I've got two tubes full of pogs and about 8 slammers. and since everyone else was saying about sports cards, I have about 50,000 cards from the 4 major sports

 

[CrackRabbit]

Yeah i remember pogs, i had a whole buncha those things, i found one of the heavy steel slammers the other day when i was cleaning my room, it was all rusted and stuff but still had the little 'bomb' sticker on it.



CrackRabbit

 

[NotoriousJTC]

I remember in school kids use to get into fights over POGS, like who won, etc... Kids ened up crying because they had lost them, lol.


Slammers were cool, but the real heavy ones made dents in the pogs, which totally sux0rd...

 

[Danman]

God....I remember playing at recess with these suckers....I used to win all the time.....hhheheh

 

[MrDingleDangle]

too old for pogs, but i do remember Alf. Remember Alf? He's back. In pog form.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

You want an investment hole? Try hard drives and RAM. There is so little return that even manufacturers think it sucks.

 

[DoubleN]

I totally remember POGS. I collected them somewhat, but the best were the Slammers, remember them? I had a few that were so huge...it was crazy! All for the fun of a few $$ as you got like between 10 and 20 of them for $1 or so? Now you've got me thinking to find this one slammer I had...red see-thru plastic with a golden dragon on it...

 

[dcdomain]

Hahhaa, man POGS were horrible, I collected the cool slammers, but never played the game. I was more of a comic collector, must've spent thousands on those damn books. I have around 10 boxes of those, the long ones for comics only? How much do they hold per box? Anyway...

On ALF, hell yeah! I had Alf bedsheets, curtains, pillows and more. That dude was the bomb! Whatever happened to him?

 

[ggavinmoss]

I remember when POGs infected the San Diego Comic Con. It was sick! All of us comic-book kids just rolled our eyes at how *lame* the POG people were.

Oh well. I'm glad they're gone!

-geoff

well the series ended with the UFO coming to get him and he had to decide between the human family and his old family, and the cop sirens were in the background...then it said &quot;TO BE CONTINUED&quot; as the end of the season, but there were no more seasons so thats how it ended.

they did an Alf tv movie like 3 years ago, but it was done with different people and i would rather forget that it ever happened

 

[FelixDeCat]

anyone remember POGS??............

Im still trying to forget about them. Werent the also called milk tops or something like that?

 

[LordKimbot]

they were milk tops or juice tops

I collected comic books too, with my cousin. We each had one of those comic book boxes to our own, and we decorated them with magazine cut-outs, and other cool stuff. I clearly remember mine had this huge Iron Man picture on one of the sides... ah those were the days

My fav comic is the one were Wolverine got this Adamantium ripped out by Magneto, the cover had a holographic card glued to it, and the cover art was frikkin' awesome I have another cousin who had a copy &quot;The Uncanny X-Men&quot; issue #1 autographed by none other than Stan Lee himself.



I should take some screens of my pog collection... stupid web-cam went haywire on me though

haha did you trade your soul to the Comic Book guy for those Alf Pogs?

 

[FelixDeCat]

It doesnt appear as if someone has caught on that he is quoting an episode of the Simpons. It was the one where Bart sold Milhouse his soul for $5. Bart realizes his mistake and comes back for it to only find that his friend traded it for pogs....
