    In short, when it was in a Capital proof set thingy, I enjoyed the hell out of it!

    It was in that from 1955 until I slabbed them a few years ago.

    Now, it's like juggling a dinner plate.

    Not quite, but sure clumsy feeling.  If the multi holders were smaller, I think I would like it.

    I had my 1940 proof set slabbed in an NGC multi holder. 
    BUT.... ever since doing that, I ...NEVER.... look at it.

    When it was in the Capital plastic (where it had been since 1955) I looked at it all the time.

    I am gonna do the dumb thing.

    Crack out and find a Capital proof set holder and go back in time.

    Technology does that.

    Consider the invention of presscopy books

    Inked numbering stamps

    Typewriter

    Telephone

    Carbon arc and later incandescent lighting

    Electrolytic refining

    on-and-on-and-on

    Economic failures usually reset business and national (now global) economies. It is never the same as it was.

    As the technology simplifies, the population increases and they have no real work to do.

    Dunno how that's gonna play out.   (shrug)
