I spent $100 for the set. I also purchased a few more items from this vendor that I will be posting within the next week or so. Unfortunately, this vendor knows that I am a captive buyer so haggling over prices with this guy isn't good.
There aren't too much info of these medals and not too many collectors in this field. I figure I will grab as many as I can before they start faking these medals/orders too. I won't make the same mistakes like I did with the Russian medals/orders when they were plentiful and inexpensive. Would you believe that I actually walked away from a Hero of the Soviet Union because the guy wanted $700 for it??? :cry: :cry: :cry: It was 1992 and I didn't know anything about collecting in this area.
OK, I must go and cry myself to sleep now.
