whatever happen to pogs?

[Ready]

Weren't they were the next big thing until elementry and jr high student traded them in for Pokemon cards?

I have 4000 of them somewhere in my house. I even have an O.J. Simpson slammer.

hah I found mine like 2 weeks ago when cleaning my closet out. i still have a bunch of them, and a huge slammer collection.

i think pogs were my first gambling experience.

 

[Ready]

how exactly did one played the game of pog?

 

[DarkKnight69]

lol, slammer...that word brings back fond pogtastic memories!

 

[mcvickj]

Hehe. Funny you should mention this. I was just going through some old boxes over the weekend and I found my pog collection.

Did anyone actually know how to play right and give up pogs if they lost or did you guys just show how cool your slammers were.

I can honestly say that I have never played the game.

I still have them sitting around somewhere. I had a nice big collection of slammers too... my favorite was the 'A-bomb' complete with a hole drilled through the middle for aiming, lol.

Too old for those... I remember the kids I counseled at church playing with them though.

 

[saxophonoia]

I forgot about those..........I've got them somewhere.

God I remember pogs. Slammers kept getting bigger and heavier. I remember one kid at this 1.5 inch slammer that just landed with a thud and didn't do much of anything. Good times.

holy crap. there's dating yourself, and then there's starting a thread on 'pogs'.

and by that i mean, you must be all of 14 if you're reminiscing about this junk.

 

[DougK62]

I remember the kids playing with them.

 

[Syrch]

I actually found all mine not too long ago...gave them to my cousin who plays them..hes younger.

 

[IAteYourMother]

heh, hated those

 

[SagaLore]

My younger brother started getting into that back when it was popular... I thought it was the stupidest thing ever. 😛

 

[arcenite]
