[QUOTE="Sundance79, post: 2894255, member: 84413"]I collected all the sets back to my birth year. Some were already cut up and put in holders and some were still in the package. My 1955 was a box set and I put it in a holder. My 1958 Franklin, is very nice and frosted. (that's what it was called when I bought) now it would be a cameo.

I think proof sets display better out of the package. I don't think I have ever seen a premium for a proof set in the mint package, other that for the 1955, the set in the box usually sales for a little less than the flat pack. But I can see that at some point in the future collectors paying a premium for sets in their original package if enough packages are broken up.[/QUOTE]
