[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 8660574, member: 78949"]I assumed something with USSR Sputnik image or form but may be wrong so I join the question. Sputnik means satellite in Russian. Well, depends on your assessment of "big monetary value" :) Of course, Tsarist Russia items in general are much more expensive than Soviet ones but there are USSR era items that can fetch hundreds of USD. For instance, Soviet LFZ (Leningrad porcelain factory, the successor of Imperial Porcelain factory) tea cups are worth 50-60 USD and more a piece, the whole set would go to 200-300. Many USSR porcelain items were decorated with 22 karat gold. Porcelain figurines of the same period are 100-200-300 USD. I collect illustrated children's books and some are hard to find on ebay (especailly Stalin era books), the ones that are more common and are available, are sold for 30-40 USD. Of course, this is very approximate, just to give the scale of prices.[/QUOTE]
