    Abstract: A sports commemorator includes a support with a forward portion having an open interior for displaying a picture (e.g., a photograph) on a layer and an object superimposed with a cover. The picture and the object are desirably related to sports. A first transparent portion of the cover serves to buttress the layer. A second transparent portion of the cover serves to receive the object. Forward and rearward interfaces serve to secure the cover and the layer for displaying the picture and the object in the open interior. In one example, the support can include a frame and/or a backing, and the forward and/or rearward interfaces can comprise a stop and/or a fastener. The forward and/or rearward interfaces can be formed integrally with the support. The cover can comprise a transparent member having an expanse with a hollow protuberance. A section of the expanse can be formed substantially flat, for buttressing the layer. The hollow protuberance preferably has sufficient space to substantially cup the object.
