Auction: Very, Very rare Adlai Stevenson & Ike Political Button set, on original card

I have for auction 2 extremely rare SAMCO LINE political campaign button set, with campaign card.  1956 election Adlai Stevenson vs. Dwight D. Eisenhower.  Had VP running mates Estes and "Dick" for Richard Nixon printed on them as well.  

This came from the SAMCO LINE founded in 1919 and still open for business today.  These may have been produced as a sample line and according to SAMCO had to have been ordered by a campaign since they did not just randomly print buttons.  These may have been used as a sales man kit to show the campaigns.  They may be the only one of it's kind in the world.  SAMCO said still having the card is significant.

2 very prominent collectors have called these pins extremely rare and a huge find.  Their exact quotes:

"Great set you have there and pretty rare, especially as a set. I cannot remember the last time either one of these buttons auctioned, it has been a long time I think."  Prominent political collectible auctioneer.

" I've never seen either of them in 53 years of collecting. I think these are VERY VERY valuable and should be sold as a pair on the original card."  prominent APIC member
