Taz Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) OK, that's very bizarre... I have never seen that message on eBarf before! It was this medal, boxed, with ribbon bar.Opening bid was $200 USD !!!!!!Rick,was it a Bulgarian seller like in the posts #4 & 5?That was the same starting price too. Also a boxed Medal Why on earth a Distiction deserves such a ridiculus starting price I will never know. Cuban Orders have an opening bid lower than that.Where does this seller base that price on?Regards Eddie Edited February 4, 2008 by Taz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Megan, this item here is a pre-1978 medal. In other words, it was created before the passing of major legislation. Basically Law #17 and Law-decree #30 as amended, which are still the backbone of the Cuban award system. There is even an earlier piece I have in my collection. Please see attached.
