For mounting to a wall, simply get slightly longer screws and screw the display directly into a mounted board - or even straight into the wall with anchors.

I can see the value in it due to the fact that it protects like a slab yet allows you to always read the comic again. However, they would need more size options, maybe more color screws, and drop the price slightly. Price is about the same as grading. Love the review videos! Really does help us better understand the various products, especially those we probably dont know about.

I have a few of these already. They also have blue,green,orange, and purple screws. This is certainly not for every comic in your collection,just your prized favorites. I like that you can put the screws either way you can and even mix and match. Say 2 red 2 black,and so on.

Very impressive and thorough review. 96.00 price tag is a bit steep, but that’s just my opinion. Command strips would probably be effective. They usually don’t leave any kind of residual on anything they are attached to, and are definitely strong enough to support the weight.

That is pretty sick! Defiitely can't wait for the silver aged. It would be a perfect product if there was a way to hang it up or display it, definitely a nice alternate to getting stuff slabbed. I've been looking for uv protection for a while, is there a UV protection product for cgc slabbed comics or do the cases already have some sort of uv protection? I want to hang a slab but afraid to damage it over time.

CGC and CBCS cases do not have any UV protection. I want to say there are some “bags” that you can place the slabs in that offer UV protection but the cases themselves do not have any.

Ultra Pro has a similar product called UV ONE-TOUCH Magnetic Holder, but it uses magnets instead of screws and has wall mounts. I got one as a Christmas gift last year. It seems like a nice product, but it just cost too much for me to buy them myself (between $15 to $19 each) so I just stick to Top Loaders for now.

I like the idea of this product. Not everyone has the resources or money to pay for comics to be slabbed and then also pay for shipping. But everyone has a cell phone these days and they may have enough money to buy a 2 pack. Then boom, they can securely protect there comics to an extent.

The review itself was thorough and well done. That being said, what I like was: 1. The name GatorGuard has appeal 2. UV protection is a definite plus 3. Seems well made. I personally like the different color screw options What I didn't like was: 1. The price. Definitely a deterrent. 2. No silver golden or bronze age sizes 3. No built in way to hang it on a wall. Seems if the thought was put into UV protection, then a connection might have been made that a popular way to display comics is to hang them on a wall which is where the benefit of having UV protection comes into play. Not trying to be overly critical..overall a good product and idea. Having a built in wall hanging option would help justify the price. The above is of course jmo. Thx for the review and bringing this product to the attention of the community.

Silver Age Surfer. You make some great points. We went back and forth with whether or not we wanted to add an opening in the back with those little teeth.. I think it's actually called a Gator Cleat, but i wanted this to be as clean as can be. It can be seen as a deterrent even though we do provide UV protection. But you can make that same complaint with some of the grading companies slabs. As for the Silver Age, that's in the pipeline so be sure to keep an eye out. Thanks again for the post and sharing your opinions. Wish you and yours a great weekend!

The site isn’t easy to use but it does point to a ACRYLITE® 8N product which is a polymer with a high molecular weight that also has UV absorption properties.
