Political Items Collectors (APIC) - APIC is the 
national
organization for collectors of political memorabilia. Whether
you collect presidentials, locals or cause items -- buttons, posters,
lanterns, clothing, books or whatever -- APIC is the group for
you! There are regional chapter shows (i.e., political flea markets)
and a bi-annual national convention. You also get a directory
of thousands of fellow collectors and a monthly glossy magazine
included with your membership. APIC, with thousands of active
members, also has many "specialty chapters" (Locals, Causes, Trump, Obama,
Reagan, JFK, Nixon, Clinton, Carter, etc.). Let them know that we referred
you (write "Ron Gunzburger" or "#8327"
as the referring member on your application) - as Politics1 strongly supports and promotes the hobby. Every person interested
in collecting really should become an APIC member. You can also find APIC on Facebook. Join today!
