Welcome to the boards newsgirl1972...To answer you very noob question, No it's neither.
Both Mint & Gem Mint are rare grades only seen with/by professionally graded services eg: CGC, CBCS. That is slabbed or is encased in special plastic.

Although if your book is as good as the day you bought it then it would be NM 9.4 (Near Mint) which is about as good as it will be raw...meaning yours is raw even though it's in a bag & has a backing board.

Here is a link to some info on grading comic books from this site.

Hope that helps!
