Abstract

A collectable card mounting device may include a rear wall, a pair of opposed arcuate side walls extending in a forward and outward direction from the rear wall and having a retaining lip for engaging a front surface of the collectable card. The side walls may further include a respective collectable card support member extending from each side wall at an angle. The mounting device may display a collectable on both vertical and horizontal surfaces. The arcuate side walls may define front and rear support ridges that support the device in a portrait orientation at a desirable viewing angle on a horizontal surface. A cover sheet may be dimensioned to extend beyond the width of the rear wall and support the device in a landscape orientation at a desirable viewing angle on a horizontal surface. The mounting device configuration provides an aesthetically desirable display of the collectable with only minimal visibility of the mounting device components and which may include a floating effect on a wall.

Abstract

A collectable mounting device is configurable to a wall-mounted configuration, and a horizontal support surface (or shelf) mounted configuration. In the wall-mounted configuration, support members are secured together via a fastener through the adjustment slots such that support channels extend in the same direction to support the collectable on a wall. In the shelf-mounted configuration, the support members are fastened together such that the support channels extend in opposite directions, and a tensioning member is inserted between the support members in opposed tensioning member receiving slots to flex the support members away from each other. A method of using a collectable mounting device comprises the steps of configuring the support members in a first configuration for supporting a collectable on a wall and a second configuration for supporting a collectable on a horizontal surface.

A packaging method includes stacking the support members and tensioning member to align holes therein; wrapping a label around the stacked support members and tensioning member to align holes in the label and holes in the support members and tensioning member; and inserting a fastener through the aligned holes.
