Collectors Hunt for Obamabilia Treasures

Collectors are sifting through a sea of Barack Obama memorabilia searching for items that will be the gems of the future instead of tomorrow's junk, the Washington Post reports.

Over 25,000 Obamabilia items are for sale on eBay, but many serious collectors are either holding off on buying anything for a few months, or looking in less obvious places. "You could go back to his state career or his career in Congress and you can probably get some good items," said one expert. "I'd be looking around flea markets." (More memorabilia stories.)
