Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will give up her gavel to a GOP successor following Tuesday's midterm election. But a whole bevy of "Speaker Pelosi" themed items are still available online, and they're about to become either collectors' treasures or trash, depending on who you ask.

Among them, a "Speaker Pelosi" popcorn tin, which comes filled with three flavors of popcorn and costs $35, and an organic brown baby-doll t-shirt emblazoned with the slogan "A woman's place is in the house ... as Speaker" that goes for $20.

One might also consider the "Speaker Pelosi" frisbee, which costs a mere $1.99.

The items above were all available Wednesday evening through the official Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) website, My Democratic Store.com.

A spokesman for the DCCC declined to say what might happen to the products when Pelosi is no longer in the top spot.

But one thing seems certain: "Speaker Pelosi" gear won't be marked down for quick sale. At least not as long as the same  website still offers outdated "Health Care Reform NOW!" decals at full price.

Over at the Republican National Committee's online store, the merchandise is more up-to-date. "I Fired Pelosi" t-shirts were on sale Wednesday, just hours after the House majority changed hands.
