Badge "For Creative Success".

[deValcourt]

An eBay seller I've dealt with before (which doesn't make everything "kosher";)) has this exact badge/medal for sale in both his English and German language locations (exact same pictures) with auctions ending an hour apart. The description says "About 100 persons have been awarded." This was for the 1957 exhibition in Moscow and I've seen others from different years posted somewhere on the forum with hefty price tags.

My problem(s) with this is that if they are so rare, why does he have two of them for sale and then I suspect he'll have two more later. The same seller has had some of these from different years (1954, 1956) from what I can remember. The other thing to keep in mind is that they are coming from Estonia.

'Nuff said other than the big question: Does anyone have a clue as to whether these are even remotely real? They sure do look pretty.:D
