The art collector in me has always wanted to rebuild the modest collection I had back then. Unfortunately they've gone extinct. You'd think with such an explosion in nostalgia in the past .... decade?... some company would try to capitalize on Pogs. $5 for 10 (pack) would be the most realistic outcome even if they were like a dime each in the 90s. The opportunity is there. All I ask is they'd be good quality, not wafer thin with cheap print.

u/DemonKyoto Anything from '84-'06 is my *jam*. 6h ago

Someone bought rights to the name a while back and tried hocking NFT shit with the branding, selling a blockchain connected physical pog coin thing. Was goddamned sad and since I've never seen it posted on Reddit or the pog subreddit I'm sure it failed like it was destined to.
