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.
| Type | Typical 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.
