Metal Armor (BGS)
Metal Armor (BGS) is the display case for a standard BGS (Beckett) slab: an anodized aluminum frame that closes on magnets, faced front and back with UV-filtering tempered glass. The Beckett holder is shorter, wider and thicker than PSA's, so it gets its own size. $20 CAD.
Metal Armor encases the entire holder in an anodized aluminum frame. Front and back are tempered-glass panels with UV filtering, so the card is visible from both sides and shielded from light fade.
The two halves align on built-in magnets and close with a satisfying snap. Open it in a second to swap slabs, and it stays shut on a shelf, in a case, or in the mail.
Solid, gradient, marble-flake, speckle and ceramic finishes. Pair it with the matching Armor Stand to display it upright.
Features
- Anodized aluminum frame encloses the full slab
- Tempered glass front and back with UV filtering
- Magnetic closure that opens in a second and stays shut
- Card and label visible from both sides
- Sized for the BGS (Beckett) standard holder (35pt), not PSA
Fit & compatibility
Sized for the Beckett (BGS) standard holder, which is shorter (about 131 mm / 5.2 in), slightly wider (about 84 mm / 3.3 in) and thicker than the PSA holder, so it needs its own case. BGS thick holders do not fit.
Standard holders are the regular-thickness slabs each grader uses for ordinary cards. Thick holders, the deeper slabs used for patch, relic and memorabilia cards, are not supported. Not sure which you have? See the slab fit guide.
Also available for PSA. Pair it with the Armor Stand (BGS). Shop by grader: BGS.

Questions
Does Metal Armor (BGS) fit PSA slabs?
No. It is cut to the BGS (Beckett) standard holder, which is shorter, wider and thicker than the PSA holder. PSA slabs use Metal Armor (PSA).
How does Metal Armor close?
The two aluminum halves align on built-in magnets and snap shut. Pull the halves apart to open. No tools, latches or screws.
Does it block UV?
The front and back panels are UV-filtering tempered glass.
Can I stack or ship slabs in the cases?
Yes. Both cases wrap every edge and corner, which is exactly what you want in a box, a binder or the mail.
