Any auctioneer of political memorabilia will tell you that our most difficult task is gathering enough material to assemble a quality auction. That task is only made possible by the acquisition of collections that have been put together over time through the
patience and diligence of dedicated collectors, and I would like to thank those individuals who have made this auction possible: John
Gearhart for his outstanding selection of pinbacks and ribbons from 1896-1928, and Don Bryce for his extensive collection of Franklin
D. Roosevelt material. I would like to extend a special thanks to Donna Goldberg for entrusting me with Marshall Goldberg’s exceptional collection of Taft and Debs pinbacks and postcards, the first installment of which is offered in this catalog.
With interest mounting as the 2008 presidential campaign approaches, now is the perfect time to spread the word about our terrific hobby. Encourage potential collectors to join the American Political Items Collectors and attend an APIC show in their area. A
complete calendar of events of interest to political collectors is available by logging onto my website at www.PoliticalHeritage.com
and clicking on “Resources”. The math is simple – if each of us would bring in just one new member, our APIC ranks would double.
As always, thanks for your compliments and constructive criticism. I share your passion for the study and collecting of political
memorabilia, and will never take for granted how truly fortunate I am in my enjoyment of this hobby and this business.

injured. Despite flimsy
evidence and a lack of
due process, and charging a “conspiracy of
silence” among the
black soldiers, President
Theodore Roosevelt dishonorably discharged
all 167 enlisted men.
Senator Foraker urged a
Senate investigation and he and the President continued to clash over the incident with hearings, private
investigations, and conflicting evidence. Taft’s victory, TR’s retirement, and Foraker’s failed attempt to
win the 1908 Republican presidential nomination
effectively closed the matter until 1972, when
