Question

How much should I budget for vintage political campaign buttons?

Answer

Budgeting for vintage political campaign buttons depends heavily on age, rarity, and condition, so prices span a very wide range.

TypeTypical price each
Common mid-century (1950s to 1970s)$5 to $25
Rare pre-1920 celluloid, major campaigns$100 to several thousand
  • Condition can swing value dramatically for the same button.
  • Rarity and candidate popularity both push prices up.

If your goal is to create new custom buttons rather than collect originals, bulk printing keeps the per-piece cost low, which is a very different budget from the collector market.
