Vendors in New York and across the country hurried to sell Lennon memorabilia as the public mourned. Stores raised prices on posters and postcards, while firms debated turning grief into commerce and collectors chased limited items from buttons to T shirts. Some dealers noted Lennon’s appeal lagged Elvis’s broader consumer base, and manufacturers predicted slower Leonard products.
