Yeah, ain't that somethin'????
Let's hope the prices continue to rise (for us inverstors and dealers) while good supplies of good deals can still be found for us collectors.
Ya know, in addition to being a jack-of-all-trades I am also a "seer"; I can see the future*.

In a mail at about the same time, my Estonian friend quoted the following prices:
FIM = Finnish Mark, old pre-EUR currency of Finlandia:
Red Banner - 120 FIM
Red Banner Labor - 80-100 FIM
Badge of Honour - 100 FIM
...
Anniversary medals - 5-10 FIM each
One USD was about 5-6 FIM in those days.

Ah yes... when I SHOULD have been buying the "nice" stuff, but had a horrid fascination with beat up old medals...

For sure it was cheap at that time, because Russia was going through an Economy crisis since the summer of 1998. As we say in French : "Le malheur des uns fait le bonheur des autres", which could be roughly translated in "One person's misfortune is another's happiness". So during the hard time in Russia, Western collectors have build up pretty nice collections. Let's not forget this.

Eric,
Some of his prices in 5 years are pretty much 2007 prices; have to be careful where you invest your hard earned money

I guess so, IF one does this for investment rather than as collecting.
