Display case and assembly

Abstract

A display system is provided comprising a display case, a clamshell assembly, and a stand assembly. The display system can be utilized to provide various means to securely showcase and store a collectible product, such as a collectible piece of eyewear, while reducing the need for the user to remove the collectible product from the display system or, alternatively, allowing the user to remove the product from the display system without comprising the value of the collectible product.
