I have in my collection the buttons you have in the top row, all but the two middle buttons in the second row, and the middle buttons in the third row. I'm surprised that political buttons are not more collectible than they are. My wife does a lot of "antiquing," but I rarely see political buttons in antique stores. And the ones I see I usually already have.
BTW, this site is an excellent site for buttons and other political memorabilia.

I would think that they would be more collectible too.
The Howard the Duck button must be very rare, you had to cut a coupon out of a 25 cent comic and mail it in with a dollar to get the button. I've never seen it anyplace else.
I wore my Nixon buttons to a party for the president earlier this year, everyone thought they were nifty and got a good laugh out of them. :)

I only have one, but I love it - my mother's "Another Democrat for Nixon" button. I'm putting my Bush/Cheney '04 button and my "Ask me about the 72 hour task force" buttons and saving them for my eventual grandchildren.
