The 27th national convention of the American Political Items Collectors, which opened Thursday and is in Denver for the first time, features more than 100,000 political buttons and other memorabilia, from posters and toys to jewelry and pamphlets. Political junkies and history buffs are descending on Denver to scoop up rare and collectible Americana from a period spanning more than 200 years. Digital Replica Edition Home Page Close Menu ![]()
