Marc,
If one person has a channel to purchase an award for $50, while the masses (and even Russian collectors!) purchase the same award on whichever venue for $100, I'd say the value of that award is what the latter category pays for it. And value is evolving constantly, it changes over time; 5 years ago the value of a postwar Red Banner was $700, now it's $250. Would you have said 20 years ago that the value of an OG3 is $50?
