Nixon

Collectors of political memorabilia usually have a high interest in items given out during election campaigns. Those items pertaining to the 1960 campaign in which John Kennedy and Richard Nixon were rivals are certainly not an exception. Buttons, posters, stickers, and literature given out during this campaign are often among the most sought-after historical collectibles for those that collect political memorabilia. As a result of a number of legal battles related to the Watergate scandal, it was established that the federal government may be entitled to the ownership of certain presidential artifacts. Therefore, every collector of memorabilia pertaining to Nixon or any other President of the United States should be familiar with US laws and regulations governing their trade. With this said, it is also important to disprove the misbegotten notion that trading with Nixon or other presidential memorabilia is always illegitimate. This is simply a deformed interpretation of the law.Popular Nixon collectibles include books from the Nixon library, as well as advertising items, photographic images, postcards, and autographs. But Nixon collectibles are not always serious. Lunchboxes, underground comics, and dolls often portray an irreverent view of Richard Nixon and his administration. Richard Nixon bobble head dolls, also known as 'nodders,' are certainly among the most fun items found under the category of Nixon collectibles. These dolls were issued in limited editions along with those of other former presidents of the United States. Each of these Nixon dolls stands about eight inches tall and comes in a display box featuring a historical blurb on the back.
