This obscure 5.5\" x 4.25\" postcard was put out in 1992 for Bill Clinton\'s presidential campaign, out of the great state of Kentucky by their democrat headquarters. Showing him with his running-mate, Al Gore, Clinton won in a three-way race against sitting president George H. W. Bush and Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot. He received only around @ 42% of the vote since the majority, conservative voting block was split. (Just like Woodrow Wilson won in 1912 with @ 42% against the conservative vote block split of Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft). Since this was made for a specific, geographical area, it may not have surfaced in your neck-of-the-woods. This is in nice condition but please enlarge our images to judgethis for yourself.

We recently returned from the northeastern part of the U.S. where we purchased another top-notch political postcard collection from a life-long specialist and friend. PLUS we\'re still selling out of of the collection of our mid-west friend! Since many of their cards are duplicates of our own, we feel it is important to offer them back into the collector market, so that others continue having the fun of discovery and pride of ownership that we three have experienced over the decades. Hopefully you can find a gem or two to add to your own collection, so check our store over time for this great opportunity for adding to your collection.
Our collecting interestsfall into all categories of presidential campaign material, but postcardsremain at the top ofthe list. Like buttons, their graphics can be spectacular. But they have the added advantage of being able to contain a lot moreof it with much more diverse art. They mayrelate to a specificperson oreventorarticulateopposing campaign slogans.Many can be \"mated-up\" with an exampleforanother candidate: the1912 pennant cardshaveseemingly endless color combinations,imagesand slogansso you\'ll never have them all,which keepsyour quest alive. Somehave \"coat-tails\" and are geographically specific or contain \"hopefuls\"or are from anperson\'s early career.Onecan simply collect their favorite candidate.In history, the 1908 election occurred at the height of the overall postcard craze by the public,so one canacquire a massive collection for that year alone.Cards can be one-of-a-kind real photos, printed photos orlithographswhileothers arepart of an set.Some are cross-collectibles involving baseball, other sports, artists, causesor holidays. Theycan show one or more candidates - often eventhe opposingcandidates -which one rarelyfinds on pins.
Just remember this: ifit doesn\'thave a printed place for a stampand an address orwasn\'t machine-mailed like most modern examples, by definitionit ISN\'Ta postcard. Having it used through the mailconfirms its history (if you\'re worried about reproductions) and adds to its depth. Be aware that condition maybe part ofthe mailing: it\'s important andcan affectthe value. But beingobsessed and possessed like many button fanatics over obtaining perfect conditionexamplescan betime wasted from the joy of collecting.
Cardsare much more personal than pins. You know they were handled, waybackwhen, and are also meant to be today (using care).Iffolding or mechanical, theyMUST be touched and worked to fully appreciate them. Many backscontain apolitical message orshow apostmark nailing down a small town or date. Some showa particular moment in American history: a meeting of greatindividuals or the last days or hours of a person - oftenthe president.Othersthen show the earlydays of hissuccessor.Pins don\'t oftenshow that.
Many cards have anti-cartoons - their great, artwork barbs and blurbs are classic political fun; sarcastic, creative,witty and sometimes suggestive, as beingrendered by the famous or not-so. Pro-examples can gush enthusiastically.Some reflect America\'s socially or racially questionable past from which we may learn.Others show an obscurecandidate and were printed in rather limited numbers.Postcard evolution from the late 19th-century to the oversize mailers of today can be displayed in one tray. Can you tell we love \'em! Therefore,we\'re listing a broad selection to pique your interest and show what we mean about how great, diverseand wonderful these relatively affordablepolitical collectibles are. Most of all, havefun with them. Postcardswere meant to beFUN.
