Shiny Design Pogs

Red Rooster Pog














Green Bear Pog














Big Beak Pog














"Christmas Cheer"













Scaly Pog













Buck-tooth Pog













American Footprints Pog












"Noel"












Angry Bug Pog

Dukie's Kaps Pogs

Dukie's Kaps = the COOLEST pogs out there. They are my favorite type of pog.




















Eight Ball and Lucky Dice Pogs

I seem to remember a lot of pogs with eight balls and dice, so these go into their own category.






























POGS!

Official Pog caps

You always knew which ones were official Pogs.

Distinguishing characteristics:

- The Pog logo is incorporated into the design on the front of the pog OR the pog design includes the Pog mascot creature.
- All of these pogs - except for the "Series II" pogs - have staples in them, staples that I don't remember putting there. They all also have two-color designs and do not have glossy finishes like most pogs/Pogs.




"POG. For official tournament play. World Pog Federation."























"POG™ Delivery"























"Don't Laugh, Pal...POG™ is way too hip for you!"























"POG ™ and © 1994 WPF"
























"POG™"
























Below are Pogs with slightly different characteristics. The logos on the backs of these are slightly different (they say "POG. Invest in the best. The World Pog Federation.") Notes on the backs of these also say that they are part of "Series II." Each pog has a different number on the back (I will name them using these numbers). All of these Pogs were made in 1994.

Miscellaneous Pogs

Below are pogs that I could not put into categories. I know absolutely nothing about them. I've decided to name them.

Tribal Order Pog
(In addition to liking pogs a lot when we were young, my sister and I were also huge Sepultura fans. Consider these scanned images a testament to the power of scanners - I honestly couldn't read what was on the back of this pog until it was scanned. Then I felt embarrassed.)

























Grainy Centaur Pog
(The image on the pog is actually grainy.)















Rodeo Pog















Screaming Orangutan Pog

"These-Strike-Me-as-'90s" Pogs

Something about these pogs screams "I was made in - and popular in - the 90s." Probably has something to do with the fact that they were made in - and popular in - the '90s. And one of them mentions grunge, so...

Grunge...

("THE GRUNGER GOES TO THE HOOP" )






















... and graffiti.
