Cased ek combo

[gregM]

Even at 15K, that's way way to much.

I sold my empty case for $1200 3 years, so really, to me, a complete set is only worth 3.5k or so.

Ridiculous price, for that amount one can better buy a cased rk.

...to me, a complete set is only worth 3.5k or so.

Personally I think that might be a bit low but I suppose $5-6K would be a fair price.

A cased RK is not as rare.

A cased RK is not as rare.

RKs in general aren't even close to rare....yet people pay ridiculous amounts for them.

Just my thoughts.

True a knight's cross is not rare, but for me a more glorious award to own.
I'm sure more people were awarded the ek1 spange than the knight's cross.
Ofcourse, the factory made and cased combo medal is very rare, i agree with that.
But looking at that price, simply not worth it.
Just my 2 cents

The last one I was offered,a number of years ago, was priced at $5K.

Hi Trevor,
Yes, definitely, I agree a cased set is very rare, and it is the old adage,(to a serious ek collector, i think they would pay maybe $5k,) but i could not could justify it for myself, 3.5k would have been my limit.
I thought I was lucky just to find a case, with hope of one day finding an original to go in it. But alas, i got out eks into flight section. So no need the empty case any longer.
Cheers
Wayne

I would pay $3.5K for a loose near mint L/18 combo without case. Somehow, I don't think I will be getting any PMs. These are far more rare than a Knight's Cross.

IMO EK-combo is one of the most beautiful Third Reich awards and one of the rarest too, especially in top condition as this one is. The truth is it may take many years before we see another like this combo for sale (if ever in lifetime) again. 15K is a lot for the "EK" but this one is truly special/ unique. I think there might be some collectors who are rich and crazy enough to fork out that number. Heck they pay much/times more for other awards..

I still have a case. Never give up hoping to find a combo to put in it. But for $1200 I imight give up and let someone else hope and dream.

Never give up! I have a box full of empty cases awaiting various awards. No Combo cases though.
