Question 1

Which graded slabs do Gem Mint Guards fit?

Accepted Answer

Gem Mint Guards are precision-fit for standard PSA, BGS, and TAG graded slabs, each with its own guard. Oversized, mini, and specialty slabs are not currently supported.

Question 2

Does the guard cover the back of the slab?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every guard pairs the impact-absorbing TPU bumper with a rigid clear polycarbonate back panel that shields the back of the slab, while the front stays open so nothing sits between you and the card.

Question 3

Will the guard fade or yellow over time?

Accepted Answer

The colors are molded into the bumper rather than printed, so they won't peel or rub off, and the matte finish hides everyday wear well. Give it the same care you would the slab and it will hold its look for a long time.

Question 4

Can I still stack and display my slabs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Gem Mint Guards are designed to stack securely and stand on a shelf, and they fit most standard slab display stands.

Question 5

Do Gem Mint Guards stack with GradedGuard cases?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We tested a mixed stack and it sits flat and stable, so you can add Gem Mint Guards to a collection without re-casing everything. Other brands vary, so check the fit before you commit a full shelf. Gem Mint Guards is an independent brand and is not affiliated with or endorsed by GradedGuard.

Question 6

Do you do limited drops or raffles?

Accepted Answer

No. Every colorway is a regular catalog item at the same $6.99 price, duo and trio gradients included. If a color sells out we restock it, so you'll never sit in a queue or pay a resale premium for the guard you want.

Question 7

How much is shipping?

Accepted Answer

$5 flat to the contiguous US (the lower 48), no matter how many guards you order, and those orders ship free at $100+. Everything is priced in US dollars. Alaska, Hawaii, and international destinations are rated separately at checkout.

Question 8

How fast do orders ship?

Accepted Answer

Orders placed before 5pm CST ship by next business day. Most US orders arrive within 3-5 business days. If we are experiencing a high volume of orders, shipments may be delayed by a few days.

Question 9

Do you ship internationally?

Accepted Answer

We ship to Canada. Import duties, taxes, and carrier handling fees are not included in your order total and are collected on delivery. We do not ship to other countries yet. Contact us for interest!

Question 10

What's your return policy?

Accepted Answer

If a Gem Mint Guard isn't the perfect fit, return unused items within 30 days for a refund. See our Refund & Warranty Policy for details.

Question 11

Are Gem Mint Guards guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

Every GMG is backed by a limited warranty. If a guard cracks or fails under normal use, do not hesitate to contact us.

Question 12

What if my card is damaged in a Gem Mint Guard?

Accepted Answer

Our guards add a protective layer but aren't a substitute for careful handling. Contact our support team and we'll make it right wherever we reasonably can.
