You know how every good thing gets to a point where it is too big for its own good and gets ruined? POGs gracefully bowed out before it could get ruined so that it would live forever, untarnished, in our sweet bouts of nostalgia.

They're in my basement. Seriously, I think I have 2 or 3 really long sleeves (as in about 300/sleeve). Just an investment one might say....

Everything was an investment at age 12

I miss those! I had metal slammers, holographic pogs, I collected mostly the alien, skulls, and monster ones, I had like 30 diffrent slammers. Plastic (thick and thin), and a few rare metal ones (one was heavy as hell with a silver skull on a gold plated base) I fucking loved thos things!!!!! Toys and games now a days suck balls compared to what the '80's and 90's kids grew up with. Sure kids now have technology shit. But it really takes away from using your imagination. It's kinda sad :,-(

Because, What The Fuck happened to them, and does anyone remember What The Fuck made them a cultural icon (abet, a brief one).

I got so good that it got to the point where no kid in the neighborhood would play me anymore.

Adults have craps. Playgrounds had pogs.

Pogos were awesome! I had the best slammers.

I had both the big brass one, and the thinner, plastic one. I got better with the plastic one -- using an angle an a "snap". It was all about the snap.

It appears that they were spilled on the floor.

My favorite metal slammer had a frowning OJ Simpson behind bars on one side with the words GUILTY underneath and on the other side he was smiling and it said NOT GUILTY.

One of my old design teachers created the originals. He still has an unpunished sheet just hanging over his desk. Crazy pogs.

I'm pretty sure these things were the ultimate face palm of dumb things my parents bought for me.

Bitch, I had to mow our lawn and do chores to buy these.
