[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 26634395, member: 19165"]I am 100% a collector, not a dealer at all. I don't have a good feel for ANACS, CAC, or ICG slabs, but the ideal box would be able to hold all types of slabs. PCGS boxes are intentionally designed to only fit PCGS holders. NGC boxes do well with older PCGS holders, but a couple of years ago PCGS redesigned their holder and now it doesn't fit in the NGC boxes. The Whitman boxes were supposed to be universal, but that really means they don't hold anything properly! To be a really successful box, it needs to be able to hold all (regular) slab types. I wouldn't expect it to hold oversize. For me, the ideal size would be 20 coins (same as the current standard). I could see doing a double-wide with 40, but beyond that the box gets too heavy.
