Do you collect, and I don't mean dust!

2. When I have the money, which really isn't that often,

I collect political buttons and other campaign memorabilia. I've been doing it for about ten years now, so I have managed to get quite a collection by now, representing about sixty years of political campaigns.

Ya have them on a website anywhere?

5. No

Just in the same type of sheet you use for sports cards.

Some of them are just beautiful, great art work. It's a fairly cheap hobby to get in to as well. Most Jokers are in excellent shape because they don't really get used, so you can pick up an old deck from the 50's, and if you're lucky the Jokers will be in the pack, and BAM, you hit the Joker jackpot! (not $$$$, just another great find)


It turned into passion back in the 80's, I had everyone saving me Jokers from their decks, I have several hundred different ones, and the great part is, you can find similar ones, with small differences, so it make for cheap fun!

Political buttons, and old flat Irons. Kind of a weird combination.
