What makes Pogs valuable?

PDF download Download Article
  1. Limited releases, popular media, and condition all affect the value of Pogs.
    Pogs were pretty common collectibles and were primarily made of cardboard, so a majority of them aren’t worth very much. However, some Pogs are more desirable to collectors
    • Limited or rare releases: Pogs released as promotional items or that were part of a short print run are worth more than commons.
    • Popular Media: Pogs that feature popular characters, movies, or art are more desirable to collectors than lesser-known properties.
    • Condition: Mint-condition Pogs that have smooth edges and are free of dents or rips sell for more money than damaged ones.
    • Slammers: Slammers tend to be more valuable than standard Pogs because they’re made of higher-quality plastic or metal.
