Button Collectors Seek Rare Political Campaign Buttons
This campaign is already the most historic campaign ever. We will either have our first African American president in Barack Obama, or the first woman Vice President in Sarah Palin. Being such a historic election, political memorabilia collectors are out in search of political memorabilia and novelty buttons that will have a high worth. At the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, there was plenty of street vendors with political memorabilia.
Political memorabilia that collectors are most attracted to are state-specific buttons, or buttons from special interest groups. Due to their limited quantity, these button are most desired. At the Democratic National Convention (DNC), political campaign buttons featuring Obama alone, buttons featuring Denver the home of the DNC, and slogans from silly to serious were among the most popular for collectors. With the Republican National Convention around the corner, campaign buttons featuring John McCain, Sarah Palin, or both of them have become very popular. The key to buttons that will have high value for political memorabilia is buttons that are in limited quantity.
