People like to look back at their childhood and think about all the cool stuff they had. We all collected Beanie Babies, Pokemon Cards, Polly Pockets, and more, but one of the weirdest obsessions we all had was the Pog craze.

Pogs were perhaps one of the most popular toys (if you could really call them that) of the 90s. They were basically little cardboard disks that had pictures on them, and the point of them was to collect as many as you could, trade them with your friends, and maybe compete for more using your "Slammer".

A lot of kids paid good money to their friends to get the so-called rare editions or the super cool Slammer they got for their birthday, but the fact of the matter remains, Pogs basically vanished as fast as they appeared.

The game you played with them was actually a super old game, dating back to the 1920s, called milk caps.

It started when a drink company sold a container that had these little caps on top, and kids would take them after the drink was done and play with them. Even after the drink went out of production, the company continued to make the little caps for kids to play with.

The drink was made by the brand name "POG" so that's why when they made their 1990s revival they went with that name.

When they were reintroduced they became the latest and greatest fad imaginable. They were literally everywhere. You'd even get them in your Happy Meal!

People ended up spending a lot of money on these modified milk caps, and now some people are wondering if it was really worth it.

Like Beanie Babies, people have wondered if those Pogs they bought are worth anything now, so we've done some digging and have some answers.

If you search for them on Ebay, you're going to see some super high prices

There are some claiming that their collections of 100 Pogs are worth $110, making each little disk worth more than $1 each

Or this set of 95 slammers is worth $200

But the fact of the matter is, you don't look at the listings to see how much something is worth, you look at the actual sales.

Things are only worth what someone is willing to pay

Even if you can guarantee that something you have is super rare, someone has to be willing to buy it. Surprisingly enough, people are still willing to buy Pogs, but they are not willing to spend as much as these sellers wanted, but some still made some decent cash!

Someone paid $137 for less than 100 Pogs...

They are all mostly Nintendo themed, and includes a few slammers and a plastic storage tube.

But most of the time if they are paying a good amount of money it's because they are getting A LOT of Pogs, but it's just a random collection. Like this collection of 1,100 Pogs for $137.

Most of the sets seem to go for around $40-$50 though, so if you still have some laying around your attic, you may as well give it a try! It's not going to make you rich, but it's worth the effort!

Do you still have a bunch of Pogs at home? Would you consider selling them or is there too much sentimental value?

We all had our favorite collectibles, which was your obsession?

Was it Garbage Pail Kids? What about Disney Merch? Or even Happy Meal toys? Admit it, we all had an obsession!

An Old Lisa Frank Factory Is Up For Sale, So Now We Can Finally See Inside

If you've ever owned a piece of Lisa Frank merchandise, you know just how magical the brand really is. They aren't afraid to make the most outrageously colorful items using the most preposterous characters, and all of us 80s and 90s kids were so grateful for each and every creation. Growing up with Lisa Frank meant that we all had this idealistic rainbow world on our binders and in our hearts. We loved all the bears, unicorns, penguins, and puppies that made our school days a little bit more exciting. But where did they come from? Where did Lisa Frank

This One Teen's Tweet About Burning CDs Will Honestly Ruin Your Day

All of us who would consider ourselves to be 80s and 90s kids aren't really that old, right? We are still in the prime of our lives, and a lot of us still feel like we're just getting started on our path to being a "real grown-up." Maybe it's not the greatest that a lot of us still feel young, but times have changed since our parents were in their 30s. We've learned how to chill out and take our time in our lives. There's no rush, so let's all just relax and try to stay young longer.Here's the

Ikea Is Bringing Back The Couch Of Your Nightmares, And People Have A Lot To Say About It

Remember when you were growing up and you'd go hang out in the living room for hours and hours, never leaving your spot on the couch? Well, honestly I can't pretend much has changed, other than the fact that the couch has fewer flowers on it than ever before. Most people stick to a single color now, but back in the day there was apparently nothing more desirable than a good floral pattern. Big flowers, small flowers, pinks ones, or blue, every combination was waiting for you. We've all seen a lot of bad couches in our days, but when

I think we can all agree that we all have a bit of an obsession with our past. There's something special about the time that we grew up that makes us want to hold onto it harder and harder as we get older. Sure, maybe we are just trying to put off the inevitable, or maybe we are just finally capable of getting all the stuff we wish we could have gotten as kids. There's also the fact that now that we are now living on our own, we get to pick the decor and if we want it all
