Increased demand for Presidential Memorabilia
The demand for Presidential memorabilia is expected to spike in the weeks leading to January 20, 2009 at Noon, when the inauguration of President Barack Obama will take place.
Already there have been a number of commemorative items released with prices ranging from just a few dollars for some basic items like postcards to custom, limited release 'antique' presidential items that will be an investment in the future as many items have aged from the past like the 1907 $20 Gold Coin
"This high-relief coin was one of several experimental pieces struck in December 1907 to test the new design of the $20 gold coin. The work of the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who had been commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt, it features a figure of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. At the insistence of U.S. Mint officials, the $20 coins that ultimately went into circulation between 1907 and 1933 were produced with a much lower relief so they could be struck more easily. A gift from Saint-Gaudens to President Roosevelt, this coin was donated to the Smithsonian in 1967 by Cornelius Van Schaack Roosevelt, the president's grandson." -(Smithsonian Institution Press)

US Election Presidential Merchandise
The ’08 presidential aspirants are racing to out-merch each other. Last week, Barack Obama unveiled a new women’s line of ObamaMAMA T-shirts. Hillary Clinton (Marc Jacobs designed her Senate stuff) is planning new accoutrements, and Rudy Giuliani has an official licensee: Spalding Group (not to be confused with the basketballs), apparel-maker for the Bushies and the hard right. Among all campaigns, the hot new political souvenir this election cycle seems to be the infant onesie (ideal for any smooching pol). Naturally, purists are outraged. “Who would do that to a child?” asks Jordan Wright, who runs Soho’s Museum of Democracy, a collection of political memorabilia. “It virtually guarantees therapy for the rest of your life.” Wright analyzed four other campaign mementos.
Rudy Infant Bib
“Who sees your baby eating, really? Your mother- in-law? A nanny? Nobody will see it, and when they do it’s dirty. For Giuliani the message is even stranger. He’s hardly the family- values guy to have children’s clothing.”
Hillary Kid Pack
(T-shirt, ruler, piggy bank)
“A kid who wears his Hillary shirt to school and uses his Hillary ruler is asking to get beat up. As for the pig, it’s such an odd thing to give a child. Are these kids going to give their allowances to Hillary?”
Barack Obama Support Pack
(4 T-shirts, 50 buttons, 50 bumper stickers, 100 lapel stickers, 10 rally signs)
“The name could be a jockstrap, or an Evangelical group. What’s new is that you used to be able to get all this free, and now you buy it.”
Elizabeth Edwards Button
“This is a real gamble. In a peculiar way, this is playing on her cancer. Ms. Obama on a button wouldn’t have the same resonance, and Hillary is so conflicted about her husband.”
