ANTIQUES ROADSHOW throws its hat in the ring on the eve of the mid-term elections with this special edition “Politically Collect,” a celebration of America’s passion for collecting and electing.
Highlights include: an extensive collection of campaign buttons; a court affidavit submitted by Jimmy Carter to the state of Maine on the eve of the 1976 election, appealing its decision to list him on the ballot as James Earl Carter; and signed photos of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, valued at $75,0000.
