SIgn of the times

Here is your ebay Popularity Index for March 15th, 2008. This information is provided for entertainment purposes and should not be taken as investment advice of any kind.


The index measures the popularity with the American public of selected celebrities, as indicated by the number of memorabilia items associated with their names currently for sale on ebay. The index changes all the time, on occasion very rapidly. There are seasonal influences as well (Christmas, World Series, etc.)

Today we are looking at the popularity of various US presidents plus Obama, and with Henry VIII and Dracula thrown in for baselines. What does it indicate? Beats us, but it must mean something.
