Who doesn't remember PEZ?!? While this candy and the dispensers came out way before I was born in 1927 it still was a huge part of my childhood in the 80s and for many others as well! There is just something about the candy flavors and the little PEZ dispensers that allow you to be a kid again! If you like these dispensers or you are a collector of them, then you probably are on the look out for new ones you may not have as of yet. Some of these dispensers can sell for large amounts as collectibles.

The highest verifiable sale of these dispensers was a private sale of a Mickey Mouse soft-head at $7000 between an Austrian dealer and a California collector. This dispenser was never available for sale to the public, and was a factory prototype. The high prices which some items fetch has led to the manufacturing of fake PEZ items as well. The ones that I was looking for were the Football dispensers or more specifically - The Steelers! I live in Pittsburgh so we love all things Steelers! Unfortunately I haven't found it yet, but you may like some of the ones listed below, have a look!

University of Nebraska Exclusive ...
... NCAA Football - produced this exclusive Nebraska Huskers football for sales through a single store with two locations in the state of Nebraska which has made this very hard to come by! It was expected to arrive by July 2008 and finally arrived in early November, 2008! The University of Nebraska Huskers football are now available, mint on card!

University Of Utah Football - This is the University of Utah NCAA Football Pez. has produced a football Pez for the Utah team for 2008! These are exclusively sold through a single store locations in the state of Utah and have thus are more difficult to obtain. The 2006 negotiations with NCAA College teams included Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Bulldogs, Michigan Wolverines, Penn State Nittany Lions and Texas Longhorns. In 2007, they added Ohio State Buckeyes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals to the lineup!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Football - This is the NFL Tampa Bay dispenser and it is one of the larger ones you will find around online at around 12" high! Now that is a big teamster! Even if you wouldn't use this as a collector item you could give it to a lover such as myself (go Steelers!) or anyone else for that matter. They have all kinds of different teams for the NFL such as Dolphins, 49ers, Ravens, etc. Still haven't found my Steelers one, but I will!

Obviously with these dispensers there is a whole lot more to it than just football options. You also have cartoon options for kids such as Spiderman, Sci-fi freaks will love the Star Wars and or Star Trek options, they have animals such as dogs, rabbits and monkeys, cars, and Nascar. They also have historical figures which were created: Betsy Ross, Daniel Boone, and Paul Revere which were released as part of the Bicentennial series. Pretty much anything you have an obsession for - you can find with these dispensers!

Flavors include; apple, cherry, chocolate, coffee, lemon, orange, strawberry and tons more. My favorite has always been the pink ones - I guess its strawberry but it could be raspberry! Whichever flavor you like - you can match it up with your favorite themed dispenser!
