calling all political nerd-types

so, i'm trying to hunt down some good political memorabilia for a christmas present. (old campaign buttons, posters, things of that nature)

anybody out there know of any good websites/stores in the LA area?

(ps-don't say ebay. i'm looking for something with a *little* credibility, please)

Sometimes if you check the classifieds for estate sales you can find some interesting stuff. I've got a bunch of campaign buttons from estate sales. Paid about 50 cents for a Nixon/Lodge button from the 1960 campaign.

 

Since when does e-Bay not have credibility?

 

devil,

try these...

or this... (although it can be confusing to figure out online, but if you contact them I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction)

I got my "WIN" button on eBay

 

it's not that there's anything wrong with ebay. it's just that i have no way of knowing if the product is authentic or not. yes, you could argue that could be said of anywhere, but going to a shop/website that specializes in these sorts of things would reassure me.
because if i'm going to drop a fair amount of money (let's face it, some of this stuff isn't cheap), i want to feel like i'm not getting ripped off.

 

thank you! this is exactly what i'm looking for.
