“It is Great to be Right” - Daryle Lambert's Antique and Collectible Blog - Obama

Obama

The President is having a rather tough time with his Health Care and Cap & Trade legislation but if you remember I stated that his memorabilia would be prized by the collectors. We now are truly beginning to see what he has in mind for the country and it should be to no one's surprise that some like it and others say he is going to destroy the country. I personally don't agree with his direction for the country because my whole life I have prospered by being a capitalist.

This really has nothing to do, however, with what is going to be a wild ride for anything that bears his name especially if it is signed. In the past I have stated that items pertaining to Barack Obama would be treasured right alongside of Lincoln's and Washington's and I wish to restate this again in this blog. The real money has yet to be made in Obama memorabilia and even though he is having a rough start in his first term, this should only delay for a short time the appreciation that I foresee for his items.

Here are just a few items that I gleaned from eBay: White Sox Jersey signed $3495, Campaign poster $1995, many items from 4-5 hundred dollars, Obama State Senator 1996 Celluloid pinback $2738.88, The book “Dreams of our Fathers” advance reader's copy $2000, the book “ The Audacity of Hope” $1075 and last but not least Obama's etopps card $787. With figures like this already, can you imagine what we will be seeing in a few years?

Like I said this is just beginning and each of you should be souring the second hands shops, flea markets and garage sales for any item featuring Obama. Remember there are ways to get items signed. If you are fortunate enough to be at an event where he appears, try to get something with his signature or in the special circumstance that you get to meet him, have something signed even if it is just a flier from the event. This will be an opportunity that only comes around maybe once every fifty years so be sure that you take advantage of it.

Please let me know if any of you were able to pick up items that featured Obama before he was elected. I will share your good fortune with the rest of our readers.
