Pricing collectibles is hard, at least it is for me. I'm glad I don't have to make my living at it. I'm pretty sure there is another thread on this design somewhere on the forum.
I think this is a desirable and reasonably scarce variety of this design. I have a modest Osoaviakhim collection and this design is well represented in it. If you decide that Osoaviakhim interests you enough to collect the theme -- it interests me and there are plenty of varities to collect -- then you probably won't soon find another example of this one. So $85 becomes a "Hey, I can handle that" price, especially if you can bargain it down a little. It fills a nice hard-to-find spot in your Oso collection. But if you just want something of this design to add to a general badge collection, there are cheaper and more available varieties.
Just my two cents, and worth every penny.
