Some EarthBound pogs went up on eBay just now – if you’re a collector or have been around for a while, you know that these are pretty rare

I never understood the whole pog fad, but I remember seeing the ad in Nintendo Power for these EarthBound pogs back in the day. I should’ve gotten them when I had the chance. I’ve seen a lot of rare EarthBound merchandise in real life throughout my journeys, but never have I seen these. Ye who win these boards of roundness will owneth a rare treasure indeed.

Wow, those look pretty cool, I’d like to have them, but you know they are gonna get bid pretty high, and I have a new CPU to buy.
Basically, Pogs was a game played with the caps of a Hawaiian drink (Passion Orange Guava) You made a stack, and then took one of the lids or a special slammer and try to flip over the stack. You take turns until the whole stack (normally 10 caps) have been flipped.
Pogs in a nutshell
Those look pretty cool. I think they will probably go
from 100 to 200. Anyone gonna make a bet?
I’d try to get this if I wasn’t so desperately trying to get a cartridge. ): It just feels really wrong playing it on an emulator for some reason.

I collected pogs when I was in middle school, but I never understood the appeal, even back then. It’s cool that EB got its own set, though.
I got these! Have ‘em in a frame with a silver background hanging on my wall. I had a choice between the loose one, or ones non-punched…but they cost more. But I have never seen another non-punched set, so I simply couldn’t resist.
These pogs don’t get much attention, but I’m pretty sure these are rarer than the Air Freshener. There is a lot of MOTHER merch, but not much EarthBound stuff. Some people to seem to think that these pigs smell or are scratch and sniff, but they aren’t.

Poe: The appeal of pogs wasn’t that kids loved them, it was that they were so hilariously cheap to produce that they were everywhere
I remember pogs pretty well, and I know for a fact that even though I had a bunch of them, I never actually played because it seemed so boring that I would have felt like a loser asking anyone to play.
It’s a marriage of two of the most awesome things from the 90s, Earthbound and Pogs! And the set’s only going for 8 bucks?!! Happy MOTHER’s day to me!
Woah, I remember getting a bunch of pogs in a box of Captain Crunch cereal or something. Never knew anyone else who had any or knew how to play, but I always kept them because I somehow thought it was cool.

reid: get your business-laden mind away from me.
Zinco: IT’S BACK!
…in pog form
also pogs were so cheap to produce that they actually had a little 10$ “make your own pog” machine. my sister had one and she messed up my scratch and sniff cards from my earthbound guide by making pogs out of some of them
^ she made some out of your scratch and sniff cards? woah!
So these are legit Earthbound merchandise? Awesome!
Pogs, oh yes, I just missed the fad by a couple years…
MAN I loved pogs! I still have a small tube full of them sitting around somewhere… we used to play pogs all the time in elementary school, so I have no idea what all you guys are talking about when you say “You dont play pogs you just collect them” or “I would feel like a loser asking somebody to play pogs”
Dude, I still have some pogs… No EB ones, though. :q
I never really understood it, though. But it does bring back memories, all the boys in school were crazy about them (although I never actually saw anyone playing them).
Kinda like Pokemon cards.

What are pogs, anyway?
