Remember a kid at my school having a giant stack of premier league 94 swaps smashed out of his hand in the middle of the playground.

 

It was like something from the crystal maze crossed with romper stomper. A full on mass riot as hordes of kids appeared like locusts fighting over Gavin Peacock and Coventry City shiny's.

anyone remember pogs?

 

Fuck me i loved them. Think theres a big tub of about 600 in the attic at my parents. Pog World Tour I remember collecting.

 

There were loads of rip off versions, like the Premier League ones, Chupa Chups, Tazos (in Walkers crisps).

 

I have a full Star Wars collection of Tazos, in a special backed book somewhere from when they re-released the original trilogy.

There was always posters in the local newsagents by Dads asking for swaps for their kid. I remember going to a local house with my Dad with a massive stack of swaps and there being about 50 people in the living room all swapping stickers.

 

I've ended up staying mates with the lad who's house it was for the last 20 years!

Are the albums £3 then? If so I genuinely innocently nicked about £33 worth of them t'other week - thought they'd always been free since South Africa 2002?

 

Oh well, my crime occurred in Prestwich and I can't be arsed going back just to return them.

 

And as regards grown men collecting stickers, it's hardwired into a male psyche - a collection must be complete, what's the point of having a full Espana '82 or Mexico '86 or France '98 and then just stopping? Makes no sense whatsoever :)

 

Besides which, I've seen empty Espana '82 albums go for £60+ on Ebay, and I've got one, cost me 30p iirc...I've got a full one too, I wasn't a neglected child - filled the scores in though, and wrote childish slurs against the players on the Peru pages for some reason known only to the five year old me, because of this, the full one is relatively worthless, so think on! Especially those with young 'uns - if they scrawl 'loser' on Joe Ledley's forehead, bang - the album's worthless...

It's all a bit like collecting football programmes, but not as good as there's no information on Bolton. I worked out a full attendance at every home and away in a season without programmes paid for three away days, and I can get them all free when the 80's veterans on here empty their loft spaces :)
