Encapsulation, Custodial, Grading, and Storage Services Agreement

Last Revised: June 14, 2026

---

1. Scope of Services

M1NT provides encapsulation, custodial handling, grading coordination, and storage services. M1NT does not assume ownership of submitted items.

2. Submission; Shipping; Risk of Loss; Return Coordination

Customer is responsible for shipment, insurance, and declared value. Risk remains with Customer until intake is completed by M1NT. Return shipping and fees are invoiced and must be paid prior to release. M1NT will not release items until all balances are paid. M1NT may assist with carrier claims but does not guarantee recovery. Risk transfers upon carrier handoff.

3. Intake Documentation and Handling

M1NT documents condition via photo/video upon intake. Items remain in protective sleeves where practicable. Handled by trained personnel using industry standards.

4. Custodial Status

M1NT acts as bailee for hire and is not an insurer.

5. Declared Value; Service Tiers; Post-Grading Adjustments

M1NT assesses fair market value at intake. Declared Value may be adjusted at M1NT discretion. Third-party grading fees may be passed to Customer. M1NT retains final authority on valuation. Maximum liability capped at $50,000 per item.

6. Third-Party Grading Services

Grading outcomes are subjective and not guaranteed.

7. MBA Grading Fees, Shipping & Insurance

The cost of M1NT's expedited three-day grading service through Mike Baker Authenticated (MBA) is included with your submission and covers cards with a Fair Market Value (FMV) of up to $2,000.

Cards determined by MBA to have a Fair Market Value exceeding $2,000 may be subject to additional grading fees or value-based upcharges. Any such fees assessed by MBA will be advanced by M1NT and subsequently billed to the customer. These charges will be itemized on the customer's final invoice and are calculated at a rate of 3% of the card's Fair Market Value above the $2,000 threshold, as determined by MBA.

Upon completion of grading and encapsulation services, customers will receive a final invoice for return shipping and insurance. Standard shipping and insurance coverage will be applied based on the declared value of the card and selected service level.

Customers requesting additional insurance coverage, expedited shipping, signature confirmation, or any other shipping services beyond M1NT's standard shipping and insurance options must notify M1NT by replying to their final invoice email with their requested instructions. Any additional costs associated with such requests will be added to the final invoice prior to shipment.

All grading fees, value-based upcharges, shipping charges, and insurance costs must be paid in full before the graded card and completed G1 encapsulation will be released for return shipment.

If, for any reason, the G1 encapsulation process is not completed, or the customer elects not to proceed with grading, encapsulation, or completion of the G1 service after submission, the customer may request a refund of the original G1 purchase price. In such cases, the customer remains responsible for all grading fees, return shipping charges, insurance costs, and any other third-party expenses incurred by M1NT in connection with the submission. These costs will be deducted from the original purchase price of the G1 service prior to the issuance of any refund. Once all applicable fees and expenses have been calculated and deducted, the remaining balance of the customer's original purchase price will be refunded to the original payment method, subject to M1NT's refund approval process. No refund will be issued for grading services, shipping charges, insurance costs, or other expenses that have already been incurred on the customer's behalf.

8. Post-Grading Valuation and Market Risk

Liability does not increase due to grading or market changes.

9. Limitation of Liability

Liability limited to lesser of declared value, market value, insurance, or fees. No liability for indirect or speculative damages.

10. Storage Services; Fees; Retention and Abandonment

30 days free storage post-completion. Fees may apply after 30 days. Items unclaimed after 90 days may be deemed abandoned. M1NT may enforce lien or dispose of property.

11. Return Shipping

Customer selects shipping and insurance. Risk transfers at carrier handoff. (See Section 7 for fee, invoicing, and payment-before-release terms.)

12. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

30-day notice required before arbitration. AAA arbitration in California under Delaware law.

13. Time Limitation for Claims

Claims must be brought within one year.

14. Indemnification

Customer indemnifies M1NT for ownership, legality, or valuation disputes.

15. Force Majeure

17. Final Sale Policy; Post-Encapsulation Requests

All sales final upon receipt of item, except as provided in Section 7 (MBA Grading Fees, Shipping & Insurance) for submissions not completed. No refunds due to custom nature. Removal requests require return at Customer expense. M1NT will attempt removal but assumes no additional liability. Customer responsible for all associated costs.

18. Customer Communications and Records

M1NT retains records of all customer communications, including but not limited to emails, messages, and other correspondence, in connection with Services provided. Such records may be maintained as part of M1NT's business records and may be relied upon in the event of any dispute, claim, or inquiry. Customer acknowledges and agrees that M1NT may use such records as evidence in support of its position in any dispute resolution process, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

19. Promotional Use

Customer grants M1NT a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to photograph, film, record, reproduce, and publish images, video, and other depictions of the encapsulated item and the finished G1, together with the associated card metadata (player, year, set, grade, certification number, and similar identifiers), for any M1NT promotional, marketing, editorial, or commercial purpose, across any media now known or later developed, including M1NT-owned channels and third-party partner channels. Customer waives any right to inspection, approval, or compensation in connection with such use. This license does not extend to Customer's personal name, image, or likeness, which M1NT will use only with separate written consent.
