I remember buying mine at just 1000 rubles and a catalogue at around 80 rubles in Moscow... gone are the good days

What year was it? I just purchased the almost identical set (64 coins though) on molotok.ru for $64.00... (which is 1700 roubles). My estimate of that lot is $180-200...

...If many coins are in proof. In Europe these coins are still mass available at 1 - 1.50 - 2 euro/piece in UNC. Some are scarce (Tereshkova - 8 euro, Gagarin - 6 euro, Russo-Bulgarian friendship - 8 euro and Eminescu - 4 euro). I've built already 3 sets in UNC (sold!) but I was unable yet to find all proofs... There are plenty of commem roubles into ebay.es, ebay.fr, ebay.de...

khokhloma, that is perhaps back in 2002 when I bought it in Izmalovski park, blue line on the metro although I heard the name got changed.

Did you notice the seller has 0 feedback. I wonder if in fact the price would be higher if the seller had a better feedback?

No doubts about it. My 8 year experience on Ebay proofs that, and they even published a study about Ebay feedback vs. selling proce in some magazine (Wired?). Here is another lot on the subject:

Amazing! For a regular coin , in pretty average condition :

Not even funny

And the seller even tells you it's a common variety.
