Grading question: Buffy the Vampire Slayer S8

I have 34 issues of BTVS Season 8 comics.

Purchased in chronological order beginning with issue 1 at a local comic shop via their subscription service.

whenever a new issue is released, first print, the would set aside a copy.

Each copy is wrapped in clear plastic with small piece of scotch tape to close the flap end.

On the inside there is a paper with my name and phone # on it, which I have removed.
Except for issue #1 and #2 which I took out while wearing powderless latex gloves and glance at the inside and then put back into each plastic wrap, none of the others have ever been taken out or handled.

For the past 11 years, they been sitting upright in 2 of those free standing plastic hollow bookend thingies, in a cool air conditioned apartment, never subjected to any water leaks or humidity or rats or mice or vermin or children (I live alone, no children) anything like that.

Looking at this site, would they all be graded 9.9 to 10.?

I also look at here and randomly picked a couple that I have and the 9.9-10 value can be as high as 2 to 3 digit price per issue.

Like issue #2 I have with the special 1 in 4 cover, never taken out, at 9.9-10, it will be worth $54-$160

How do I get them graded or it just depends on the seller's honesty?
How much will they be worth if I want to sell them all in one time?

I don't want to go to the post office 32 times and pay 32 shipping and so on.

I am disabled and don't have a car and the only way I get around is depending on friends or family to take me when they are free or to take a Uber which is expensive.

Public buses here are very poor.

Maybe someone will want the whole set or half the set and someone else wants half of the other set.

1-10 http://imgbox.com/e42vCVFt



11-25 http://imgbox.com/4ytJJbcl



26-32 plus 2 issues with no issue number on them http://imgbox.com/f5nz33Im



I am new to this, never sold any comics before. Please bear with me.

Thank you.

I don't mean to double post or reply to my own thread. I research grading and it will cost a lot of $ to join a grading service and send the comics to them and pay each issue grading price. Even if they are 9.9 to 10, by the time you figure in the cost of getting each issue graded, you don't get much back when you sell them. You pretty much already spend your money before you make it.

Here they are back in their upright plastic holders.

I know this place is for comics but I want to get rid of that Buffy DVD set too. Bought it brand new when it came out, play it once, never viewed them again.

Someone give me a decent price on the comics, I can work on combo in the DVD set.

It's still $69 starting for used on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000ARSJVU/ref=olp_f_used?ie=UTF8&qid=1584049776&sr=1-13&f_new=true&f_usedAcceptable=true&f_usedGood=true&f_used=true&f_usedLikeNew=true&f_usedVeryGood=true

Thank you Guest. Every comic has a cardboard in their bags.
