ABSTRACT:
A device for holding and displaying collectable cards and the like has a base including a planar portion having a card receiving area thereon for receiving a collectable card. The base includes a ridge upstanding from the planar portion and substantially circumscribing the card receiving area, except for an opening through the ridge that permits lateral access by a person's finger to a card received on the card holding area. The ridge has inner sidewalls delimiting the card receiving area and arranged orthogonally to each other. The adjacent inner sidewalls have laterally recessed corners set back from a point of intersection of imaginary extensions of the adjacent inner sidewalls, such that a corner of a collectable card, whose adjacent sides are in engagement with adjacent inner sidewalls of the ridge, would not engage the ridge, thereby preventing damage or deformation of the corner of the collectable card. A transparent removable cover includes a generally planar portion having a card retaining area thereon for lying atop and retaining a card received on the card receiving area of the base. The cover includes a groove shaped complementary to the ridge of the base portion for receiving the ridge therein in form-fitting relationship such that a card received on the card holding area of the base is sandwiched between the planar portion of the base and the planar portion of the cover.
