For those who collect US political memorabilia, there are 214 lots of medals, pins, ribbons, and other ephemera in the Heritage weekly rare book auction (#201551).
I have no connection with (or interest in) this stuff. I just saw it while browsing the book auction and thought it odd to have it there. But last week, the book auction had a group of antique medical instruments including a lot of 10 nineteenth century amputation tools that brought $300.
I think this link will get you there.
Remember the vig is 25% (min $14) in this sale.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Heritage is a rather tough place to purchase political items because of their 25% buyers' fee.
Holy Cow!

What difference does it make? Just as with coins, just back it out when figuring your bids.

People in the Heritage political auctions bid as if there is no buyers' fee. There is no is no Red Book for political items. The main price guide has not been updated in over 10 years, and it is much harder to get meaningful auction results. I can buy similar items for less money in political items auctions that charge a 15% buyers' fee.
Heritage sells a lot of 3 D items. I mostly collect tokens, buttons, studs and a few paper items.
Is it the New England Presents Senator John F. Kennedy for Vice President?
It is the "Profiles in Courage" variety.

I have an "I Like Ike" pin, but below the slogan it says "Even Better." Why is that?
I suspect it is from his re-election campaign in 1956 and as a result those that “liked Ike” in 1952 liked him “even better” in 1956.
