I understand that the color of the ink is unusual, but I have (posted) other awards of campaign medals where a light blue color was used as well. True is that it is the first time I see it on this type of booklets.
Once again, thank you for the given support.:thumbsup

Your confusion may arise because of both the stress on the words and the similarity of the "sh" and "ch" shound. Kartoshka is a "potato". Kartochka is a "card" (the stress is on the bolded letters).
You are asking for a free evaluation from members who have seen hundreds (thousands)? of these documents. Two of us, based only upon your photos and our experience, have given you an evaluation. Yes, blue ink was used, but this example just doesn't look right.
We could be wrong, but you have to weigh our free evaluation against your spending a hard-earned $300+ on the set and research. I invite you to seek advice elsewhere, test your luck by purchasing the set, paying for research, then either being disappointed or proving us wrong. Either option you'll be adding to your own experience (and possibly ours). I'll sweeten the deal, however by betting $50 that it is bad (PM me in advance if you want to take me up on this offer:thumbsup).
