Graded Comic Book Protection
Grading protects the book. Nothing protects the slab. KEYGUARD is graded comic book protection for the case itself, a TPU bumper that wraps the outer edge where CGC, PSA, and CBCS slabs take the most damage.
What actually damages a graded comic
Almost never the book. It is the slab: corner chips from stacking, hairline cracks along the rim from a drop, and surface scuffs from slabs sliding against each other in a long box or a shipping carton. Graded comic book protection means protecting the case that protects the book.
One bumper, every major grader
KEYGUARD's profile is built for modern CGC, PSA, and CBCS slab dimensions. Snap-on install, no adhesive, no permanent modification, fully reversible. Compatible with CGC, PSA, CBCS, and most modern graded comic slabs.
Protection that still displays
The bumper hugs the perimeter only, so the cover art and the grading label are untouched visually. Wall-display slots are molded in, letting a protected slab hang from one flathead screw.
Price
$15.00 per bumper. Flat $9.99 US shipping, $25 Canada, $50 Europe and Dubai, $75 rest of the world.
Protection disclaimer
KEYGUARD is designed to help protect graded slabs by adding an everyday layer of edge protection. No accessory can guarantee prevention of damage under all conditions.
Frequently asked questions
- Do graded comics need extra protection?
- The grading case is rigid plastic, not armor. It chips, scuffs, and cracks under normal handling, stacking, and shipping. A TPU bumper adds an everyday layer of edge protection.
- Does KEYGUARD work with CGC, PSA, and CBCS?
- Yes. The universal profile is designed around modern CGC, PSA, and CBCS graded comic slabs.
- Will it affect my grade or reholder eligibility?
- No. KEYGUARD is a removable external accessory. It does not modify or open the slab.
