Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a durable and efficient display assembly for collectible auto models. It allows collectors to securely protect their collections in original packaging for display and easy transport to trading shows. It features a simple design with a ledge element for positioning the collected items, and it is manufactured of durable materials and components that withstand years of continual use. Overall, it provides an effective organizational tool and a beautiful way to showcase and transport one's prize acquisitions.

Problems solved by technology

Displaying collections in this manner often becomes cluttered and disorganized.
For the many collectors who own hundreds of smaller objects, such as Matchbox cars of Happy Meal toys, finding enough room to properly display each piece from their collection is nearly impossible.
Another challenge for serious collectors is safe and organized transport of their collections to and from trade and display shows.
Unorganized boxes of comic books, action figures or die cast automobile models are not conducive to showing off these items in an effective manner.

A packaged collectible display assembly displays a packaged collectible. The packaged collectible display assembly includes a board assembly and a display base. The board assembly includes a backer board, at least one pair of laterally opposed J-channel structures, and a ledge structure or element. The J-channel structures are attached to the laterally opposed portions of the backer board such as laterally opposed board edges such that channels of the J-channel structures face one another. The ledge structure is attached to the backer board adjacent the lower board end such that the ledge length extends across the board width and abuts the lower channel ends, the ledge structure and J-channel structures for supporting at least one channel-received packaged collectible.
