Re: [meteorite-list] Sputnik satellite - copies....

[Jim Strope]

Yes, there are a few Sputnik Satellite backups that have been sold with the proper paperwork.  Here is a link to one of them that an exotic car dealer has for sale: http://www.staufferclassics.com/sputnik.html   The one on ebay is now listed as an invalid item.  I guess ebay put a stop to all the fake bidding.   If you want to bid on valid ebay auctions, don't forget to check out my auctions that are ending tonight.  Some great specimens this week!!! (how is that for turning this Sputnik discussion into a shameless ebay plug!!!)   Bid high and Bid often, I need money for my vacations this summer...... http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/catchafallingstar.com/   Best Wishes..........   Jim Strope 421 Fourth Street Glen Dale, WV  26038   Catch a Falling Star Meteorites http://www.catchafallingstar.com ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 12:31 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Sputnik satellite - copies.... Actually, I believe there are "legit" copies of Sputnik out there, manufactured in the (former) Soviet Union.  When we lived back in Eastern PA, I remember an article in the Allentown newspapaer one weekend in their science section, about a small antique store located in Kutztown PA that had one on display (not sure if it was for sale).  I don't remember details as to how many they said existed, or exactly why it was made. I know where the store is, but never got a chance to go check it out.
