They are produced in huge quantities for sale to the public, and the thousands of leftovers are dumped on the hobby very cheaply. The Obama buttons that will be worth a lot of money are the short run buttons that come from the campaigns, and are specific in their content such as state, group or event. A Teamsters For Obama button picturing the President with James Hoffa is worth a lot of money. The mass produced junk from Tigereye is not. I have been tracking Obama buttons since 2002, and I have more than 3300 different buttons. I also publish my own newsletter, so if anyone wants any real information on Obama buttons contact me at davros@fgi.net.

Collectable or not I just bought one a Big Lot's and I'm very proud to have it diplayed in my Living Room! [balance deleted] Well, guess what?

Wouldn't you want an entire place setting? Perhaps package a setting for four? I saw this very plate in Walgreen's over the weekend for $14.99. If Walgreen's is carrying it, then it's very commonplace--nothing special. And collectible? Please. What about an Obama glass? Wouldn’t you want an entire place setting?

There was a Michelle button but i got there too late for that one. The baseball hats are very useful to keep the sun out of the eyes and I am sure the Michelle button will be a fashionista collectible someday.
