Dear Anon’s,I have a question:Is there a world record of the biggest collection of Lay’s/Smith’s Flippo’s(Caps/Tazo’s/Pog)?.Because i have a big collection but don’t know is a world record worrh it.So is someone that can anwer it?
>>11204461/POG/ general. Also, no idea what the world record is, you’d have to search for that or get a world record book/pdf from the early 2000s, that was the last time anyone gave a crap about pogs. Btw, I have a few stacks of them somewhere still, weirdest collectible that ever went mainstream imo.
>>11204588Already tried and the only place only that have that info is Guinnes World Records.But the site is so messy and if you want to mail them for that question they ask 5 pounds for it… :-/
>>112053325 quid isn't steep, just mail them, anon
>>11204461Search for it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgaDHruLWK0Best is just claim you got the biggest. Than wait if someone else tops you.>>11205332>>11205379If you want to get “official“, pay. Otherwise just search on youtube and make a video if you dont find any bigger than you.Wait till someone tops you.
>>11209474Kind of funny to think these were a big deal in the mid-90s and then went into obscurity in a snap.
>>11211141>went into obscurity in a snapFor real. My friends and I used to sling them into bonfires in the early 2000s; I’ve still got probably over two hundred buried in a storage box somewhere. I wonder if pogs will be the next nostalgia-fueled coomlector “investment” asset, but I doubt it.
I had two of the giant 12 inch tubes for my main collection and used to keep the slammers in the eight inch tubes. Here's a pic I took awhile back when going through them of some of my favs.
>>11211141It was a game kids played. Like marbles or skipping rope. People just thought they could create a new Hula Hoop.>>11211273I dont think so. After the implosion and the Simpson gag.
>>11211339No Simpsons?
>>11204461Pogs motherfucker. Wish I would have kept at least a few of my old slammers.
Where the Power Rangers at? And VR Troopers?
I miss the days when everything didn’t need to be overly involved or complex.Whether it’s collectable, board games, tcgs, video games, etc… it all seems designed to be anxiety inducing.Like I was into shoes as a teenager and apparently had quite a few rare pairs. But I got them by going to the store when they released and paying retail price. Now it’s sold out and being scalped two months in advance.Every board game requires a 45 minute seminar to understand. Maybe it’s because hobbies didn’t used to be a drug-like crutch that distracts people from their awful lives.
>>11211781>I miss the days when everything didn’t need to be overly involved or complex.Greed in the slammer manufacturing game coupled with an insatiable lust for power from the players destroyed pogs. The slammers jumped the shark and ruined the game. The instant that “torpedoes” hit the scene it was over. They made every game a 1 shot kill and the meta was totally ruined.
>>11211445>>11211802Did people actually play the game with these? I only remember collecting and trading them with my friends, nobody ever used the slammers for the actual game. They were like trading cards to us.
>>11204461>>11211339Just looking at pogs gives me nostalgia. If I ever did keep any, they'd just do nothing in storage
>>11212223I remember kids would play this game where you stack up a bunch and try to flip them over with the slammer. Usually for "keeps" you took whichever ones got flipped. Not sure if that was how you were supposed to do it or what the real rules are.
>>11212392Yea, that was how you played the game. I just can’t ever remember playing it. Most of the time we’d bring them when we hung out and view one another’s collections and trade some before/after we played video games. Wild that some marketing person out there was able to create a fad out of cardboard milk bottle caps. Some of the art on pogs was really cool, to be fair, I think that’s why we liked them. Mostly skulls and stuff like that but also themed ones like Star Wars and Trek.
>>11212223Yes. But only with the cheap ones. People feel the difference between special and common. Maybe when you play with friends and had a “owner gets his pogs back“ rule. But i remember that you owned them when you picked them up.
>>11215180>special and commonYeah, the “pog man” ones were legion, everyone had too many of those.
Anything could had been a pog. I had these as part of my collection.
>>11215482>Collect to add to 6424, 39 59666875I give up
Need to find my metal slammers, one of them is fugitive OJ themed.
>>11215482Those were pogs? I remember those, I thought they were just game pieces
I honestly think this was their smartest move to be like "fuck it, make them your damn self".I had so many magazines with holes in them
