progress Wrote:Sorry aironmeiden, it is a secret between Tretov and me ( and advanced collectors). Italian collectors are not ready. They are good collectors but they need more experience. They have only a school knowledge about Soviet awards. To understand Soviet awards you need more knowledge not directly linked to your passion. They are like a little intelligent boy at his first school day compared with an old well-known scientist. They have not an inner market. There isn't a 'Soviet' market in your country. All others have their markets. Italians are all focused on Italian awards so there are no chances to compete with other buyers (British, German, Russian, American buyers). They are like North Korea, they isolate themselves. They are not ready because they think no more than pocket money can be spent on soviet items. I started to buy Soviet items 20 years ago. European awards were my first passion and I remain interested in those items but I added a 'Soviet passion'. My first passion cannot be considered better than the other. This is the difference between us and Italian collectors.
No problem progress, keep your secret for you :thumbsup
We do not take the bait of your provocations this is the difference between us and the stupid collectors.
