Mongolia The future of Mongolia collection

[Bob]

Time to breath some fresh air into this forum

Sure, there's a recession (or should I use past tense?), and there's no longer the tidal wave of good stuff coming out of Mongolia on a daily basis (remember the "good old" days of eBay?)... BUT...

* we already reached an immmense level of refinement of knowledge on mongolian orders/medals right here on GMIC

* from what I can see on collectrussia pics, a GREAT new book is out

* the first SMALL steps are SLOWLY becoming reality with regards to research (more on that later)

....Soooo, who dares to make a prediction on the future of Mongolian orders/medals collecting?

Let's start with quoting the collectrussia description on the new book:

"For those of you familiar with the superb books on Soviet and North Korean awards co-authored by Paul McDaniel, you will perhaps understand how impressive we find Urnukh's work when we say that this seems like a book that McDaniel could have produced. We feel safe in predicting that collectors of Mongolian orders and medals will soon come to view this book as their Bible.

The clarity of both the photographs and the text will introduce a whole new generation of collectors to the challenges and satisfactions of collecting Mongolian orders and medals!"

OK, what's up (or down?) with everybody?

We're entering a new era of Mongolia collecting! :beer:
