Pezamania 2014 Convention Pucks

This has been a good year for those who like their PEZ pucks.  They have been very popular as convention dispensers this year.  Let's see... there were the PEZcific silver and gold pucks, the six FEB pucks from the ANPC, the six pucks from the Slovenia PEZ Convention, and most recently, six pucks from Pezamania 24.  Wow, 20 pucks!

Now technically, of the convention pucks mentioned above, only those from the Slovenia PEZ Convention are completely made by the PEZ company.  The other pucks have either a sticker (PEZcific) or metal pin (Pezamania) attached to a PEZ Visitor Center blank puck after manufacture.  Either way, these PEZ pucks are great and I wish I could have them all. :-)

Below is a photo showing this year's six different Pezamania pucks.  There are five different bubbleman variations and a single Peter PEZ puck.  The Peter PEZ puck was given to kids attending the Pezamania convention.



The following info was given to me by John Gliha, one of the Pezamania hosts...

Each of the bubbleman pucks are designed like coins and have mint marks - A for attendance, C for Charity, D for dealer and P for prize.  Very nice touch.

Green Charity Puck - 80 made  
Magenta Charity Puck - 120 made 
Yellow Attendance Puck - 80 made
Orange Prize Puck - 80 made
Blue Dealer Puck - 120 made
Kid's Puck - 80 made

There were (60) Puck sets made with all six pucks and most of the other pucks were given away at Pezamania, except for the Charity variations.  These were sold to collect Charity money.  Many of the Puck Sets of Six were donated to other Pez Conventions and Gatherings so that their hosts could raise money for Charity too.

Right now there is an eBay auction where you can bid on the complete set of six Pezamania pucks.  Current bid is only $9.99.  Auction ends Aug 22, 2014 19:01:25 PDT.
