Kudos to all involved,

I will take partial credit for the neat little slope markers with the set number
and year engraved on them and the logo on the 1x2 caps. Matt came up with idea
and even designed me a jig/vise (out of LEGO of course) so could do them on my
machine. I had wanted to do something like that for years for my mineral
specimens, but never could figure out how until he came up with the jig.
Eliminates big cards that clutter up the display, IMHO.Problem was that slopes
come with a texture, so had to figure out how to get rid of it and make them
smooth. I understand now that the new molds for slopes will be smooth.
