THE TWELVE DAYS OF POGMAS - DAY 2

 DAY TWO. I PLAN TO MAKE THESE POSTS QUICK AND BREEZY SO EXPECT A 40,000 WORK DIATRIBE ON A POG MANUFACTURER IN A WEEK OR SO. LUCKILY TODAY IT'S GONNA BE EASY!

 1994 WHO THE HELL KNOWS WHAT MANUFACTURER DEATH ROCK SKULL DIE CUT #17

 

 PART OF THE REASON I NEVER POST IS BECAUSE WHEN I START ACTUALLY TYPING WORDS I FEEL COMPELLED TO START DOING RESEARCH ON WHATEVER I AM POSTING ABOUT BECAUSE DESPITE COLLECTING CARDS AND OTHER BULLSHIT FOR OVER 40 YEARS I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN MY HOBBY KNOWLEDGE. SO I END UP FALLING DOWN A GOOGLE RABBIT HOLE ON TOPPS NON-SPORTS CARDS, MENKO, JACK DAVIS, LENTICULAR CARD MANUFACTURING PROCESSES ETC. AND NEVER DO ANY TYPING AND STUFF ROTS IN MY DRAFT FOLDER. POGS ARE GREAT, THERE'S FUCK ALL INFORMATION ON THE INTERWEBS ABOUT THEM AND THEN HALF OF IT IS KIDS YELLING POGGERS AT EACH OTHER. THEN YOU GET ITEMS LIKE THIS ONE: NO COMPANY INFORMATION WHATSOEVER AND IF YOU GOOGLE SKULL DEATH ROCK YOU CAN DIVE A THOUSAND PAGES DEEP INTO THE SEARCH RESULTS AND NEVER FIND A SINGLE CIRCULAR CARDBOARD COLLECTIBLE. BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE I KNOW THESE THINGS WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY:

DIE CUT CARDS ARE COOL

SKULLS ARE FUCKIN RAD

 'ARE WE THE BADDIES' MEMES NOTWITHSTANDING, SKULLS ARE HELLA COOL AND WE NEED MORE SKULLS IN OUR LIVES. ESPECIALLY ROCKER SKULLS LISTENING TO METAL GUITARS GOING WHEEDLY WEEDLEY WEOOOOOWWWWW LOUD ENOUGH TO CRACK OPEN THEIR NOGGIN EXPOSING THE PINK GOOEY BRAINS WITHIN. THERE IS SO MUCH TO ENJOY ABOUT THIS PIECE OF ART. THE SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE LINE WORK ON THE SKULL AND BONES. THAT CLASSIC 90S GRADIENT. THE BEAUTIFUL HAND LETTERING. CLIP ART HEADPHONES PASTED WHERE THE HOLES FOR EARS LONG GONE WOULD BE. POG NUMBER FRONT AND CENTER SO THAT KID IN 1994 KNOWS THERE ARE AT LEAST 16 MORE OF THESE THINGS TO COLLECT. NO BRANDING TO BE SEEN, SOMEONE COULD HAVE MADE THIS IN THEIR BASEMENT, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW

BRAND THIS ON MY EYEBALL SO I CAN SEE IT FOREVER

 

 THE BACK IS ONCE AGAIN SADLY BLANK. I CHOSE THE SUBJECTS ON THE BASIS OF THE FRONT DESIGN SO WE'LL BE SEEING A LOT OF THIS. THE ONES WITH STUFF ON THE BACK WILL BE AN EXTRA SPECIAL TREAT, I PROMISE

 

YOU CAN SEE HERE HOW QUICKLY I GAVE UP ON PUTTING ANY TIME INTO CUTTING AND PASTING THESE ORNAMENTS IN
