Bag check for sure! However, I do love the sound of the pog shaking in the can.

Re: Pog check or Bag check?
When they first started I was all about checking the pog first, but once I heard of some errors then I began to check the bags first.

Re: Pog check or Bag check?
I’ve found that I typically always look at the pog first, but I too have had a pog not match the figure actually inside the can.

I flip the can over and let the pog drop to make it interesting

Re: Pog check or Bag check?
Here's how it works in our home
1. Place our bets as to which can has the chase
2. Rip open the plastic
3. Rip off the lid
4. Slowly move the plastic bag to the side of the can to catch a glimpse of the pog
5. If you can't see the pog, slowly start taking the bag out of the can while pushing the figure/bag to the side to catch a glimpse of the pog until you can see the pog
6. Pull out the entire bag quickly once you see the pog
7. Open the bag to confirm what you got.
Wash Rinse Repeat!

Re: Pog check or Bag check?
Always the bag first. Unless it's a glow in the dark that's hard to tell the difference on, then I'll pog check first.

Re: Pog check or Bag check?
My wife and I will usually order in multiples of two and her and I will both do a Pog check at the same time and call it Soda Battle. She usually gets the Chase over me.

Re: Pog check or Bag check?
The hubby and I do a team effort thing. I will hold the can while he pulls the bag out. We dont look at the pog until we are ready to open it. He hands me the bag and he will tell me if its. Chase or regular (as he looks at pog) and I open baggie for confirmation its been a good method. Makes it more exciting

I guess thats kinda what we do since the GF likes to check the Pog! I can't look at her though or her face gives it away

I always look at the pog first, anyone with the ability to take the bag out and not look is impressive.

I have no patience, so I check the pog first, then carefully open the bag to see my prize

Bag first. I like the mystery of it all. Checking the pog just ruins it in my opinion

Re: Pog check or Bag check?
I open and try to avoid the pog... then check what's in the bag first... then usually go to the pot hoping it says CHASE and that my memory was wrong on what the chase/common looked like haha

Always bag. Pog seems like cheating . More excited to open bag.

Most videos I see, seems like everyone checks the pog first. I however like to look in the bag first. But I have been known to check the pog if I’m impatient .
I go for the pog, especially when I order a case of 6 searching for the chase. It helps me protect the soda sealed in the bag.

Re: Pog check or Bag check?
I always check the pog first. I know there have been some errors but I still have some chases where I have not opened the bag yet. Mainly because I’ve run out of rom to display all my sodas. Once I get organized I’ll open those bags for sure.

This requires knowledge of what figure is the chase and which is the common. Bravo, you trained her well to know without looking

My favorite part is when she replies "Ahh, it's just a common!"

Pog first. Then, if it’s chase, check the bag to make sure the pog is correct, since I’ve had a few errors.

Re: Pog check or Bag check?
Im a impulse ripper, so regardless of if its Sports Cards, Pokemon cards, or Funko Sodas... Im ripping through the plastic as soon as i get in the car or leave the booth.
I always look at the POG first since I am always worried about dropping anything, but recently learned about POGS sometimes being incorrect so after I check the POG and in safe place I then check the bag.
