Podcast #077 - The Return Of Pogs & The New Team Behind It

Podcast #077 - The Return Of Pogs & The New Team Behind It

This has been one of my favourite episodes to record, as I was a big collector of Pogs back in the day. They made there way around the school playground in the 90's and was one of my first introductions to collectibles.

Looking back, it's likely I traded some now high value Pokemon cards for a few of these, which is depressing to hear, but in the moment it was all the craze!

Me and Seb sat down with the new Pog team who are resurrecting the brand, and bringing back the collectibles both in physical editions and digital editions for those into their a variation of collectibles.

We speak about the birth of Pogs, who it boomed, how it lost popularity and what they are doing to bring it back!
