         11 . The disc presentation apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the backing plate is configured to resemble a film reel when none, one, or more than one discs are coupled with the plurality of disc anchors. 
     
     
         12 . The disc presentation apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein when a disc anchor of the plurality of disc anchors is coupled with a disc, a graphical element representing a portion of the film reel is hidden. 
     
     
         13 . A disc presentation apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
 a backing means;   a plurality of means for anchoring a plurality of discs, wherein:
 the plurality of means for anchoring the plurality of discs is arranged in a circular pattern on the backing means; and 
 the plurality of means for anchoring the plurality of discs is arranged such that when the plurality of means for anchoring the plurality of discs is anchoring multiple discs, a first disc of the multiple discs does not overlap or touch a second disc of the plurality of discs; and 
   a storage means configured to removably store the backing means and the plurality of means for anchoring the plurality of discs.   
     
     
         14 . The disc presentation apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the backing means is sized and shaped such that when any of the means for anchoring the plurality of discs is anchoring a disc, the disc does not overlap an edge of the backing means. 
     
     
         15 . The disc presentation apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein each means of the plurality of means for anchoring the plurality of discs, when anchoring a disc, is configured to impede the disc from rotating. 
     
     
         16 . The disc presentation apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein:
 the backing means is circular; and   the storage means is rectangular.   
     
     
         17 . The disc presentation apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein each of the plurality of means for anchoring the plurality of discs is circular. 
     
     
         18 . A method for presenting a plurality of discs, the method comprising:
 providing a disc presentation apparatus, comprising:
 a backing plate; 
 a plurality of disc anchors arranged on a surface of the backing plate, wherein:
 the plurality of disc anchors are arranged in a circular pattern on the surface of the backing plate; and 
 the plurality of disc anchors are arranged such that when each disc anchor of the plurality of disc anchors is anchoring a disc, no disc coupled with an anchor of the plurality of disc anchors overlaps another disc coupled with another anchor of the plurality of disc anchors; and
