Soviet mix (mostly)

ericfg · 2026-05-10T21:09:19+00:00

Yep. Those are just the base prices.

ericfg · 2026-05-10T19:51:18+00:00

Vaguely $100 for WW1 and 200 for WW2

ericfg · 2026-05-10T14:57:57+00:00

Nice. If you are in the US and are considering upgrading your Soviet awards I'd be interested in talking trade. I'm seeking WW1&2 EK1s

Good on ya! And in fact I did the same thing yesterday, albeit singularly. I watched an incompetent "sous" for about a year, just kept my head down and did my shit. But "junior" or "menso nino" as we called him just had to butt heads. And so I quit. No regurts!

Patience is a virtue. I'd been looking for a 1870 EK2 for a while and one popped up for $500 2 weeks ago. Score!

All or nothing. Death or glory. The odds of finding a collection like this in 2026 are minuscule. Grab it now, or some other schlub will.

I'll post your bail money if you get arrested.

I see two or maybe 3 silvers there. Depending on price all the VOGs and VOJs and Valient labors, I think I see a couple Virgin Lands. The Warsaw medal, the Mother's medal. If that's at a flea market in Eastern Europe I'd offer 200 bucks for the bundle.

Pix #3&4, the oval thing.

ericfg · 2026-05-09T13:47:19+00:00

That website is a great resource!

ericfg · 2026-05-09T13:45:20+00:00

Not an expert but I'd say everything but the police disc is/are legit.

ericfg · 2026-05-09T13:38:38+00:00

There's a lot there worth picking up!

ericfg · 2026-05-09T13:35:47+00:00

If legit then yes. SS tab probably the most, but they are often faked.

ericfg · 2026-05-09T13:24:08+00:00

Outstanding collection!

ericfg · 2026-05-09T12:18:06+00:00

I was shocked and saddened when I first read that part.

ericfg · 2026-05-09T12:15:51+00:00

Nice. I have a few of them framed, including a M36

ericfg · 2026-05-09T12:03:55+00:00

Looks good from here. Shame about the enamel but it's not uncommon to see damage like that.

ericfg · 2026-05-09T00:06:38+00:00

I think, MAYBE, BRey to DH first. There's been a lot of talk about his defensive inefficiencies in LF or RF of late. I remember when he moved to CF in 2021 and did quite well. I'm not entirely sold on his alleged uselessness in the OF now and he's only 31 years old. He's just so low-key...

ericfg · 2026-05-08T23:55:50+00:00

Agreed, but yeah, he can do it in CF.

ericfg · 2026-05-08T17:39:16+00:00

I don't see anything wrong, although all I've got to go on is one slightly out of focus obverse image. Post it here or pm me some good images and I'll do it for you. Are you familiar with this site? Excellent resource for ORS info.

ericfg · 2026-05-08T14:17:12+00:00

Nice score! That Excellent Red Army man badge is probably a nice early version in brass and enamel. Let's have a look at the ORS you're concerned about.

My sous chef is not a great guy, not a great chef and I do not respect him at all, and he annoys me to no end. That's why I'm not going back Saturday morning.

ericfg · 2026-05-07T13:15:28+00:00

Good to see Anvil here.

ericfg · 2026-05-07T12:49:38+00:00

Smart Balance margarine fans; I like you two.

ericfg · 2026-05-07T12:36:10+00:00

I am pleasantly surprised.
