Hey all, I'm new to this whole comic book world. and am trying to gauge the condition of the comics I have in my inventory. I was able to get them at a auction//reseller store in bulk. They appear to be in Perfect condition, as if the Previous owner bought them and put them right in the sleeves. well now I have them and i'm looking to sell them but i'm a bit gunshy on sending them out to get graded. Just because I hear sometimes what you perceive as perfect condition, at times comes back less than. Here's two examples of the comic books I have in my collection
Any pointers for a newbie?

On a passing glance the X-factor #6 has several issues that would count against it. 3 of the 4 corners are rounded. Along the top edge there seems to be a crease or fold above the word "and". I cannot see the spine clearly because it's still in the bag but based on the other factors I would guess that there are spine creases that don't break color. (could be pressed out if they don't break color)
In general, you want to have a book that is over $50 before sending it to grading. You have to pay for grading and shipping and then any fees to sell it. Those items add up and you want to make money on this venture.
All the best,
Ron
