Agreed with the points regarding description by the seller and price.
However, many collectors, especially in the begininig of the hobby, don't know much about medal, or don't have enogh money, or collect "just the metal". In later development as a collector, one is interesting in variations, medals + award documents, and at the end the collector puts Order of victory and Marshal's star in his "wish list".
We, as a collectors community, has an OBLIGATION to help others. (For example - I contacted more than 30 persons on ebay, and many of them are now members of this board).
