slava1stclass Posted February 28, 2008 Author Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) To all: The unchecked appreciation of the Order of Glory 1st Class continues unabated. Igor's asking price for serial number 963 is $13,900.00. For border reverse Glory 2nd Class serial number 457 it is $22,500.00.Regards,slava1stclass Edited February 28, 2008 by slava1stclass
Bryan Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Some people get richer every month with their Soviet collection and me I can't by nice things anymore.
Christian Zulus Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Gentlemen,Igor's Slava 1st class is a true bargain for collectors from Europe (Russia is part of Europe ), because EUR 9000,- for such a nice Glory 1cl is a very fair price .So, that nice item wouldn't be very long visible at Igor's website - maximum a few days .Best regards ChristianBTW: The US-Dollar keeps on falling, falling and falling .

Christian Zulus Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Dear Bob,the scans at Zeige's auction website http://www.zeige.com/en/index2.html are not good and about most of the most high-end items I am not so confident. Carsten Zeige doesn't stand for the authenticy of the items at the auction, because he only organizes the event. I added already the 23 % buyers premium and switched the prices from EUR to USD (1 : 1,52).Some of his items with extraordinary low starting prices:Glory 1cl - USD 3740,-:I don't like this Glory - no nicks, no wear, but no details in the medaillon (for details, please have a look at my avatar ) and the tips of the rays of the star are too sharp.Ushakov Medal - USD 560,-:I also don't like this medal - the old admiral looks like a cone-headed idiot and some other details make me worry.Some more "normal" priced items:Suvorv 2cl - USD 28000,-:If this - fresh from the mint - beauty is genuine, then Carsten Zeige might yield that price ... Kutuzov 2cl - USD 9350,-:Looks o.k. to me - as far as I can make out from the scan.O.K., these are starting prices ...Best regards Christian
Bob Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Further confirmation that - although I'm very attracted to Soviet awards - I need to stay disciplined and stay out of them.
