Thank You, slava1class, I was just about to get to that point - at certain level, in my personal view, collector's tend to stop and look far beneath the type-variation part of the award - at the real person and his/her deed. We already see this quite often, when collectors don't accumulate variations, but rather one single award (say, P.War 1st class), but only for certain heroic deed, or certain battle, or certain type of military force (only snipers, for instance), only postumous, and so on... Same applies to HSU groups, and Glory's...
So, in a nutshell, price may (and will, in my firm opinion) reflect the rarity associated with the history and heroism, more so than with the variation. Awards of HSU pilots, who are aces, already command prices of different levels, than similar items of pilots, who didn't quite distinquish themselves. Same with glory cavaliers groups - some are more desirable than others. The one we discuss, for one, is to recon. sergeant., I think this is probably as good as it gets :love
