[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7338789, member: 105098"][URL]https://www.capsalbums.com/modern-commemorative-half-dollar-with-proof-album-2208[/URL] says it fits the Baseball HOF half dollar. [URL]https://www.capsalbums.com/capsule-kit-for-2208-modern-commemorative-half-dollar-type-set-with-proof-album[/URL] the airtites they sell for this album are supposed to be T30 Direct fits. Caps Albums, depending on the album and pages, ONLY Take Airtite capsules, and only A, H or T type capsules, capsule rings won't help in this situation of changing the capsule to a different brand, the caps albums are designed for Airtite outer diameter only.
