I would like to add sets and checklists for two series of Slamco Marvel Comics pogs released in 1993 and 1994, but I know that pogs are mostly outside the scope of this site, so I wanted to make sure these particular sets are allowed.

Slamco released four series of Marvel-related pogs in '93-'94 -- two series of X-Men and two series of "Marvel Comics," which also featured plenty of X-Men characters.  Slamco was not a card company, and their pogs were not packaged with cards, which would lead me to think that these are not allowed to be added.

However I see that sets for the two series of X-Men pogs already exist (created by Admin in 2016), and I also know that PSA will grade them, as they were a licensed product and feature widely collected characters. This leads me to think that adding them is allowable after all. Is this correct?

Thanks

Just because PSA grades something doesn't mean it's listable.

Seems to be in a legit, licensed set with a set checklist.  I see no reason not to add them.  They don't seem like random pogs issued with no particular theme, which is mostly what is kept out. Seems there were multiple series of Marvel Slam Caps.
Figuring out if there was one big checklist, or multiple sets will be the challenge.

Looks like there was a 1993 set of 20.

There was a 1994 set of X-Men, in at least two series of 10.

And there were probably others.

Doesn't really address the good points he made in his last paragraph though, but at least you got your terse comment in...

They already went ahead and added at least some of what you linked to:

Cool looking I added to my wantlist

Especially the marvel ones

Added before any responses to the forum post were given....

An IR has been put in against this set. I sent it to ADMIN for decision.

Well actually it does seem like someone said they was legit with a checklist so I guess all is cool

I waited three days after my initial post before adding these, at which time my post had fallen to the third page with no replies. Obviously I should have waited longer, judging from some of the subsequent replies and messages I have received.

Ultimately Admin's opinion is the only one that matters, so thanks to rmpaq5 for forwarding the IR to him.
