Collecting Political and Presidential Memorabilia

By , About.com Guide

As with most collections -- prices can range from just a few bucks for paper items such as postcards to thousands of dollars for antique presidential items. Serious political collectors usually collect for an investment, but you can still collect on a budget and have fun with political and presidential memorabilia.

Will the paper dolls go up in value? No, not in my lifetime -they're mass-produced and cheap. But if you like them, don't let that stop you from adding them to your Obama or McCain collection!

Check out these items that cover the range of prices and rarity!
