Obamania Continues on eBay

This is weird, I know, but over the years I've become a sort of collector of kitschy replicas of famous people. It started when a friend sent me a porcelain figure of JFK Jr. saluting his father, which I love and treasure. Since then, I've acquired more than my share of stamps, busts, and commemorative tabletop goods featuring icons like Elvis, the Pope, and Princess Diana. It's not like I put this stuff on display, but it is a bit of a secret problem. Picture_23_2 (The love I feel for my Prince and Princess of Wales royal marriage mug knows no bounds.) So, you can imagine how intrigued I've been to see what the great eBay might possibly offer for Obama fans. The site did not disappoint: It currently has more than 14,000 auctions listed under Barack Obama—including newspapers, paintings, dolls, stickers, and campaign buttons.
