Trading card milk bottle caps, also known as milk caps or pogs, are collectible items that were popularized in the 1990s. These caps were originally used as seals for glass milk bottles, but their use as collectibles began when they were printed with images of popular characters from television shows, movies, and sports. The caps were often distributed in sets, and collectors would trade and compete to complete their sets. The game of milk caps involves stacking the caps face down and then taking turns throwing a heavier cap, called a slammer, at the stack. The player who flips over the most caps wins the game and gets to keep the flipped caps. The game became so popular that it was eventually banned in some schools due to concerns about safety and distraction. The popularity of trading card milk bottle caps declined in the early 2000s, but they remain a nostalgic item for many collectors. Some collectors still actively trade and sell vintage milk caps, while others have moved on to collecting newer versions of the caps that feature updated designs and characters.
