(Details on the items in this collection)
Book
The books is a first edition, signed, certified and hardcover as NEW. It has only been opened for signing and certification by PSA. Letter of authenticity from PSA is included and their sticker is in the book.
Obama’s Announcement Tickets
There were only three colors. Red (VIP), Blue (general admission) and Gold which were ones given to family and staff. Be warned some sellers will make a copy of the blue on cheap paper and try to pass them off as original tickets. One seller I have seen has the AUDACITY to make a photo copy (white) and try to pass it off as an original. I checked with a professional printer to see if they could reproduce these copies and they couldn’t figure out a way unless they made a cheap copy. These are NOT.
I purchased these from an individual in SPRINGFIELD who obtained these by the Obama campaign.
Michelle Obama Sticker
This is an official Obama approximately 3” X 12”
Signed by Michelle Obama and Certified by PSA.
Sticker Collection (Stickerobot)
All original, NEW stickers as received from Stickerobot
The “New Yorker” 7/21/08 Edition
I don’t know why I bought these besides just being a collector’s item but the copy you will get is NEW, no address label and UNREAD. I bought ten of these when they first came out. They sold out the first day of issue and of course the Ebay whores started selling them for ten times what they paid for them.
I have been working hard at putting together some really nice Barack Obama items and I have collected a little more than I need. A true Obama collector will love this collection. Regardless of your political views, I truly hope American voters will trust Barack Obama for I truly feel he is a man of his word and will do everything he can for ALL AMERICAN’S. We need to be United States of America. No longer Red or Blue States.
Depending on how high the bids go, I may include a SOLD OUT Munk One Poster for the seller.
Shipping is free. All will be well packaged, protected and insured.
This is a PRIVATE auction, but the winner will be given a copy of the bidders list
so you know there are no shill bids. This is to protect the bidders.
OBAMA-BIDEN2009
It’s truly amazing that a day ago (before Barack’s announcement of his VP pick) John McCain and his Karl Rove want-a-bees already had an attack ad on Biden. You want to see how John McCain and his TEAM really feel about Freedom of Speech? Go to youtube and put in john mccain and bring up his website and ads. Click on the Biden ad and take a look at the comments posted. Keep in mind there have been 300,000+ views already and they keep pulling all the negative comments. I sure hope Barack’s website is not doing the same thing. That would be Un-American.
The 2008 Convention: Americans Gathering To Change The Course Of A Nation
Podium Schedule and Themes
Monday, August 25 – One Nation
Barack Obama’s story is an American story that reflects a life of struggle, opportunity and responsibility like those faced by Americans everyday. The opening night of the Convention will highlight Barack’s life story, his commitment to change, and the voices of Americans who are calling for a new direction for this country.
Monday’s headline prime-time speaker will be Michelle Obama.
Other Monday night speakers include:
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi; Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri; Barack Obama’s sister Maya Soetero-Ng and Craig Robinson, Michelle Obama’s older brother; Jerry Kellman, mentor and long-time friend of Barack Obama; Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr.; former Indiana Representative Lee Hamilton; Tom Balanoff, President of Illinois SEIU; Nancy Keenan, President of NARAL Pro-Choice America; NEA President Reg Weaver; AFT President Randi Weingarten; Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan; State Comptroller Dan Hynes; Illinois State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulis; Chicago City Clerk Miguel del Valle; and Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper.
Monday night will also feature a tribute to Senator Edward M. Kennedy.
Tuesday, August 26 – Renewing America’s Promise.
Millions of Americans are struggling to get by. The failed policies of the last eight years have betrayed the country’s values and left an economy out of balance. Barack Obama believes a strong economy is unattainable with a weak middle class. Tuesday’s Convention program will feature the voices of Americans who share Barack’s concerns and strongly support his detailed economic plan to grow the economy, create jobs, restore fairness, and expand opportunity.
Senator Hillary Clinton will be the headline prime-time speaker and former Virginia Governor Mark Warner will deliver the keynote address on Tuesday night. Pay Equity pioneer Lilly Ledbetter will also address the Convention on Tuesday.
Other Tuesday speakers will include:
Governor Brian Schweitzer of Montana; Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts; Governor Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas; Governor Janet Napolitano of Arizona; Governor Joe Manchin of West Virginia; Governor Jim Doyle of Wisconsin; Governor Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania; Governor Ted Strickland of Ohio; Governor David Paterson of New York; Governor Chet Culver of Iowa; Senator Bob Casey, Jr., of Pennsylvania; Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont; former Secretary of Energy and Transportation Federico Peña; House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer; House Democratic Caucus Chair Rahm Emanuel; Representative Xavier Becerra (D-CA), Assistant to the Speaker of the House; and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chair Chris Van Hollen, who will use his time to showcase his top candidates for change.
Representatives Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), Linda Sanchez (D-CA), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), Mike Honda (D-CA), California Controller John Chiang, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, Change To Win’s Anna Burger, and AFL-CIO President John Sweeney will also speak.
Wednesday, August 27 – Securing America’s Future.
Barack Obama offers a new, tough foreign policy that is neither Republican nor Democratic, but is a strong, smart American foreign policy to make our country more secure and advance our interests in the world. Wednesday night’s Convention program will feature the voices of Americans who share Barack’s vision of making America stronger and safer.
The headline prime-time speaker on Wednesday will be Barack Obama’s Vice Presidential Nominee.
Featured speakers will include:
Former President Bill Clinton; former Senator Tom Daschle; Governor Bill Richardson and Senators Evan Bayh, Joe Biden, John Kerry and Jay Rockefeller. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Convention home state Senator Ken Salazar, House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn, and Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) along with Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. Representative Patrick Murphy (D-PA) and Iraq War veteran Tammy Duckworth will lead a tribute honoring those who give so much to secure our nation’s future – veterans, active duty military and their families.
Thursday, August 28 – Change You Can Believe In.
On Thursday night, the DNCC will throw open the doors of the Convention and move to INVESCO Field at Mile High so that more Americans can be a part of the fourth night of the Convention as Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination. Obama will communicate the urgency of the moment, highlight the struggles Americans are facing and call on Americans to come together to change the course of our nation.
Contact me with any questions and please be assured I will not rip you off, unlike other sellers on the internet.
See my comments below for Fraud Warnings and examples. IT’S SCARY and very common.
Seller Information & Experience: I used to sell on Ebay quite often but I became discouraged with all the scams and fraud on the internet, which continues on a major scale today. Ebay claims to protect the sellers but their protection is very limited. When you buy online, unless you have dealt with the seller in the past, you are taking a risk. If you buy an item, remember you only have 45 – 60 days with Ebay to file a claim. Don’t fall for “I found this is the attic of an old farm house”, “I really don’t know if this is real or not so you be the judge on it’s authenticity”, “It’s original because I was there when it was signed”, “Look at my pictures, it has my user id on it”. 9 times out of 10, this is what we refer to as a “SCAM”. If you are ripped off, trust me from personal experience, you are not limited to only filing a claim with Ebay or PayPal. Regardless of the amount, you should file with the Internet Fraud Bureau (FBI website), the FTC, file a court action against the seller, file a formal complaint with your State Attorney General’s Office, file a claim with the USPS for fraud through the postal service and do not hesitate to LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK for the seller.
There are some really good OBAMA sellers on Ebay (like inkstersports, artsantiques and smartboysports) but be careful on all the phony copies of books, stickers and even posters being sold. You are wiser to spend a little more for a Certified item, then taking a chance of losing your money on a really good fake. A prior transaction I unfortunately experienced with an internet seller (send me your email address and I will be happy to share this sellers information) proved to be a real eye opener on how a buyer is not protected by Ebay. He assured me a book I wanted to buy would pass PSA authentication (which it failed) or 150% of my purchase. He took the book back stating he would send me an identical GSA Certified Book, he kept the original book I bought and also kept my money. Since 60 days had passed, I could not file a complaint with Ebay or PayPal so now he can deal with the Internet Fraud Bureau and the California State Attorney General’s office. I would list the sellers name but Ebay (and this is ironic) would probably pull this auction. Remember, Ebay’s statute of limitation on Fraud is only 60 days. The FBI’s is a little bit longer…..
Blatant cases of fraud can be found by "search", type in Abraham Lincoln, choose the highest prices first and you will see “ORIGINAL LINCOLN HAIRS” with starting prices of $ 150 by one seller, $ 499 by another and unfortunately people are buying these. You want to see what they should be selling for when they are real? Check out auction # 160265146995. I was thinking of posting some non bid auctions mocking these sellers using similar barbershop hairs with “your choice” of colorful Certificates of Authenticity.
Ebay may say there goal is to make the Ebay experience safe but I will make it as safe as I can and when I see a violation of the law or a scammer I feel it is my duty to report it. The same for everyone else, buyers and sellers. If you’ve been scammed or need help trying to recover a loss, let me know? Okay, I’ve said enough. Honest seller here. If you buy US coins, some really top notch Ebay sellers like sammydogsleeping, seriouscoins, heritagecoins, jhamrickcoins, anaconda.rare.coins, shortsleeved and signaturehouse.
