- a support having attachment areas for receiving collectibles thereon;
permanent printing defining said attachment areas and simulative of a specific collectible to be attached to said support in a corresponding attachment area;

Abstract
A replica of a philatelic display comprising a substantially opaque base and an overlying, transparent cover. Attachment zones simulating philatelic materials are formed upon the base, while appropriate cancellation marks are simulated upon the transparent cover so that they in part overlie the attachment zones. This system presents the impression of a collage of stamps bearing related cancellation marks. The display is completed by attaching the actual stamps to the attachment zones which represent them.

6. A display for a plurality of individual flat printed paper collectibles, comprising:
-
a substantially opaque base member; means defining attachment zones on said base member and including indicia substantially similar to indicia on said paper collectibles which visually simulate ones of said paper collectibles; said attachment zones being spaced from one another upon said base member; a transparent cover member overlying said base member; means forming at least two opaque areas upon said cover member, said opaque areas at least partially overlying said attachment zones and being spaced from one another and being proportioned so that said means defining attachment zones are disposed beneath said opaque areas and remain substantially fully legible. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
