“This is why, on the Antiques Roadshow, Union Army Civil War Memorabilia is worthless, and everyone wants to collect the Confederate Artifacts. Who wants that Union trash?”
How do you explain why Nazi memorabilia is so sought after?
You have to admit, those Nazis were snappy dressers.
Price usually has more to do with scarcity than with political or historical significance. The trade in Nazi memorabilia is illegal in many European countries though. That drives prices up.
Hugo Boss?
Because people like to pay top dollar for fakery.
At any given time, there are enough iron crosses, SS deathhead pins, etc. on sale to build a complete panzer army.

Not quite accurate.
Union Army (Federal) artifacts are definitely not worthless and good condition rare items will ring thousands of dollars similar to some Confederate items.
Price of CW material depends largely on rarity. Confederate items tend to be rarer than Federal items (but not always). There are many fairly common Confederate buttons and bullets that do not sell for big money and for far less than some Federal pieces.
