Abstract

Abstract A compact disc storage and display board which includes a rigid panel which will support a plurality of compact disc cases. Preferably, a frame is mounted to the panel to give the device a more refined appearance. The frame includes upper and lower edges and a pair of side edges which form a boundary surrounding a display surface. Compact disc cases may be removably connected to the display surface utilizing hook and loop fasteners with one half of the fastener mounted on the rearward face of the compact disc case and the other half of the fastener mounted on the forward surface of the rigid panel. Compact disc cases mounted on the display board may be opened so as to allow access to the compact disc therein. In this fashion, the graphic work on the forward cover of each compact disc case may be displayed within the frame and yet allow access to the compact disc therein.
