The Kennedy Political Items Collectors (KPIC) Chapter
Background: The KPIC is now entering into a fifth decade of service to Kennedy collectors around the world. Membership currently extends across the U.S. and Canada to England and even as far away as Japan and Australia. In addition to our bi-monthly Hyannisporter newsletter, we offer contact with other Kennedy collectors all over the world, and the opportunity to actively participate in your hobby among people with the same special interests. The Hyannisporter newsletter offers history, trivia, collector information, Kennedy-related auction and market prices, newly discovered and unlisted materials, and more.
Kennedy Publications: The original Kennedy books (1981-1985) are out of print as hard copy books. They are, however, available on DVD: The Campaign Items of John F. Kennedy, JFK Book II, The Campaign Items of Robert F. Kennedy, RFK Book II, and The Kennedy Ribbon Book. Also available is a KPIC Hyannisporter Index Project. This includes a complete topical index of the chapter newsletters from 1974 to the present and digital copies of every issue of the newsletter that has been published in the past four decades.
