Greetings Fellow Collectors,
Here are a few pins from my small political memorabilia collection. As you can see, I was always a Richard Nixon fan! Although he did resign in disgrace for actions taken by "henchman" on his behalf, it seems like they were pretty tame compared to today's politics. These pins are all authentic and several of them seem unique. You have the typical campaign badge, a banner with Nixon and Agnew, a US pin with DICK, and a ladies pin with faux mini pearls spelling out NIXON. I hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by. Thrifty
Hi Thrifty, You know I have to love um with a name like mine ;D
Some in fact all in pic 2 are much less common, Nixon items seen to go up and down, A few that were selling for near $100 a few years ago now tend to sell for $20 or so while others that sold for much less now command a whole lot more, In any case there well worth hanging on to.
Funny you say compared to today (and I think your right) I just got a button with:
G. Washington - I can not tell a lie
R. Nixon - I can not tell the truth
and
Trump I can not tell the difference
I try not to take sides in my collection anyhow.
Hey PoliticalPinbacks,
I was hoping you would stop by and check out my post. I knew that you would appreciate it! You have some great posts of your own! You are right about pricing, it really doesn't make any sense how it works. One thing about it, I'm not looking to get rid of anything. I definitely don't take sides either in my collections. Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great evening! Thrifty

Peace
Thanks for the love Mystaplers and Blunderbuss2!
Super collection, I really don't think Nixon was all that bad, he was prejudice but what do we know of obama, was he a saint, hardly. They are just human and Nixon had a fairly long run, I like the old days when there was no CNN to tear the politicians, esp the ones who hate the press, to shreds. Wonderful to see these mementoes, my faves being the pearl nixon and the flag !~
