Unfortunately I have different opinion.
I agree that the supply of the Soviet medals and orders is not getting bigger (yes, USSR does not exist anymore and does not produce new awards).
My concern is that in several years (maybe 10 - maybe 20) the demand of the Soviet awards would be much lower. Less people would remember and know former Soviet Union. I would say less people would care about many-many years ago history. Soviet awards would be the same as awards of other countries. I am not trying to say that nobody would collect Soviet awards. My guess – just less people.
Even I have this terrible for us collectors opinion :mad:, I am continuing and will continue my collection of Soviet and other awards:thumbsup . Collecting for me is not investment, however I would feel bad if the demand and prices would drop down.
I also think that economy is a big factor for Real-estate and collecting. If people have money, they buy staff. If people don't have money, they sell staff. If they sell staff, the supply is bigger, the demand is less, and prices are ....:thumbsdown
