Description

Up for auction is this group of miscellaneous pogs, trading cards (including 62 WWF wrestling cards, some anime, movies and sport celebrities), as well as some tiny figurines that appear to be Ninjas.


Pogs is a game that was popular during the early 90's.  The name originates from POG, a brand of juice made from passionfruit, orange, and guava; the use of the POG bottle caps to play the game pre-dated the game's commercialization.  The game of pogs possibly originated in Hawaii (Maui, Hawaii) in the 1920's or 1930's, or possibly with origins in a game from much earlier:  Menko, a Japanese card game very similar to pogs, which has been in existence since the 17th century.  Pogs returned to popularity with the World POG Federation and the Canada Games Company reintroduced them to the public in the 1990's. The pog fad soared, and peaked in the mid-1990's.
