Slightly related buttons

With the Obama Presidential Center opening recently there have been some great Obama pieces sold on the Facebook groups. Best place to buy get in on PME if you aren’t already.

u/Infamous-Campaign-21 is our second giveaway winner! I’ll be in touch tomorrow for shipping info. Thanks everyone for playing and thanks again u/LBJ464 for providing the lot. I have more of these planned so stay tuned.

BAT stands for basic aid training I love that one

😢 I love Bobby and believe he’d have been elected in 68

First a big thanks to u/LBJ464 for providing the lot! When I go on and on about the great people you’ll meet in and around APIC he’s one of them. We are closing in on 400 subs but I hate waiting, I have no patience, so we’re doing this at 390. It was just me talking to myself in here for a while so I’m glad y’all made it.

So same as last time, comment a number from 1-100 (numbers accidentally copied will get bumped up a number) and I’ll have an auto picker decide on Monday, June 29th. Good luck!

There’s a button with the same phrase on it as well but I don’t usually collect antis

Okay so it’s missing the mirror but I figured that would be an easy replacement because the front is minty and I’d never seen one of these before.

I only have the prominent Democrats but there are others. The donkey I don’t think is ‘68 actually I’m not sure about him but it is an Art Fair design. While not actual campaign items these brightly colored and boldly designed buttons are still lovely collectibles. There’s also a different shade of the yellow Humphrey.

Got the autograph myself, I’ve met John a few times, pre and post stroke. Was prouder of all this a few years ago.

And I really do, his writings on the Third Freedom would change the world for the better.

I believe it’s from 1974, there’s also a version that says “Boycott Japanese and Russian Goods”

I’ve been so busy trying to get ready for the local Pride festival, I’m the Youth Committee leader (because I’m the only one with kids lol) so I’ve been busy wrapping up 100 different things for the day

Resellers beat me to copies of this multiple times, nothing burns more than seeing something you were too slow for pop up on eBay at a 500% markup, but I finally got mine. As always PME is the place to find your treasures.

Example 104 of why McGovern collecting drives me crazy- I thought this was one button for a very long time. The closest thing to a full McG list is Bristow’s 1972 Presidential Campaign Items book (great resource btw, I can get copies of certain politicians from it if anyone wants) and even it only lists the first button.
