There are hundreds of great Soviet / Russian space pins out there.  I guess most people don't collect them because they just can't read them.  Of maybe you might think its unpatriotic to collect them (I used to think that).  Well I've taken care of all that for you.  No more excuses.

Problems do arise from time to time and you can count on me to sort them out for you, just ask
