- In such an exemplary embodiment, the display can include a separate display stand, the display device being mounted to the separate display stand. The display can also include a substantially transparent enclosure associated with the display stand such that the item is substantially completely enclosed by the display stand and the enclosure. The display can further include at least one support connected to the display stand and configured to assist in immobilizing the item relative to the display stand.
- In a further exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of displaying an item of memorabilia includes mounting an item of memorabilia associated with an event mounted on a display stand, mounting a display device proximate the display stand, and displaying the event on the display device.
- In such an embodiment, the method displaying the event can also include comprising playing a video of the event. In addition, displaying the event can include presenting a digital image of the event, and mounting the item of memorabilia can include substantially immobilizing the item relative to the display stand.
