Do you own political memorabilia signed by a politician, dead or living? (Representatives, Reagan)

[PilgrimsProgress]

I was just curious. Are you a collector? If there is an interesting story in how you obtained it, do tell!

Have you ever gotten your photo taken with a politician? Who?

Anyone whose autograph you would like to get?

No. No political memorabilia. I try to stay away from political rallies.

A former boss got his pic taken with Pres. Clinton when he went to a fundraiser. He paid $$$ just to attend.

Nothing that is signed. I have a bumper sticker that says "President Ford" and a lapel button that says Goldwater-Miller.

Not made for an election is a tee-shirt with Teddy Roosevelt on it. I wasn't old enough to vote that year.

Yeah...I collect Presidential signed books

So far I have Clinton, HW Bush, W Bush and Carter.

I plan on buying Trump and Obama this year.

Some were obtained in person, others through limited edition offerings online.

I don’t, but I remember my father had a letter from then-Presidential Reagan, wishing him luck in his run for House if Representatives.

My dad has a Christmas card signed by President Eisenhower.

My son got a letter from President Obama when he had to write the president about some issue for a school project.

I got a letter from President Obama when my WWII Veteran father died.

Let's see got a picture with Chelsea Clinton.

That's it.

I have a very sweet personal note from the Current head of NASA - he wrote it to me as a Thank You for art lessons when he was 11 years old and was enclosed with a gift. Other than that - nothing else.

Not a collector, but I know one. When I travel, I rent homes to stay in - long story with too much detail to post online -- BUT, while looking for a rental in a very specific spot with almost no rentals I came across a man who had decided to rent out his 7 different properties in this exclusive area. First year I rented his smallest house (2 bed, 2 bath) - Interesting decor. Original FDR posters, most of the stuff was JFK - signed photos from his honeymoon. Signed Clinton artwork, signed Bob Dylan art poster - tons of stuff.

The next year I rented a bigger house for a month - 4 bed, 3 bath.
A Presidential Flag, signed photos from the Carter/Arafat summit and Presidential signed Christmas Cards (which are large Art Prints from Kennedy, Johnson, Carter & Clinton. Famous photo Portrait of Jackie (in the yellow dress) -- incredible collections everywhere we turned.

This guy is a MAJOR collector of Presidential (mostly Democrat) memorabilia.
Entire room in his personal home devoted to Winston Churchill, his gym is all Marilyn Monroe.
Concentrates on JFK and especially Jackie K.

No, but I’ve got a box of presidential M&M’s.
