Again dilemma "price versus quality"
Semi-collector quality:
Collector quality:
I must say I am constantly confused by the various Russian figure grading systems and how they relate. For example, is collector quality a 9-10 or an 7-8 and is semi collector quality a 7-8 or a 5-6?
In any event, both of these are very nice and the collector quality is clearly superior. It would have been a more interesting comparison without the helm on the first figure but the conclusion would certainly be the same. Then of course there is the difference in price.
Good one.It's like a French Restaurant. Just order from the the left side, and pay no attention to the price!

Yes that is probably wise but if they seldom have the ones at shows that interest you that could be a challenge.
When I watch on TV the World championship on gymnastics I not always understand why one sportsman have more points than another
Its like anything else in life from Art appraisers to judges at just about every event that is judged Gymnastics , Dog Shows , Body Building , ect ect... to the average person its hard to have a well informed observation at that level . We just know what we like best which is not always the best according to the experts . That's why its better left to the more qualified persons who live these events everyday and are around such things for many years and are therefore IMO in a much better position to Judge such things . . All the best Gebhard
I like that too and George, who has just about everything I would want, is really great about putting them out so you can easily pick your favorite.Hi Igor ,
.....The best thing for me about attending shows is that there are never two figures that are painted exactly alike i will always ask to see all the figures the dealer has with them of the same sculpt , usually around two or three and pick the one that appeals to me the most . Of course this goes only for figures at the connoisseur level , the mass produced ones i am more concerned about damage hidden by the box

Other variant
... to become the dealer,.... to receive some figures,
...to choose the best to itself... and the others to sell
But I think it would be like an Alcoholic owning a Bar , But instead of drinking the profits I'd be putting them on my shelf . Best Regards Gebhard
That's an interesting thought
