Can I get help grading some back issues?

I have a a nearly complete Marvel Conan The Barbarian collection;
I recently was able to start upgrading some issues, one of these is issue #2.
I was gifted many years ago both #1 & 2 by a friend, but I have no idea what (low) grade would be correctly applied to these two issues.
I did look at the grading guide here before posting this.
My #1 is complete, and in pretty good shape, but it had water damage in the past, so it has some slight darkening on the pages, and they have that 'hard' feel.
My #2 is complete, the inside pages are great, but the front cover has a large rip, the spans across maybe 2/3 of the cover's (top to bottom) length.
Since both of these issues are complete, and missing nothing, I would appreciate some opinions as to approximately what they might be graded.
(i will upload photobucket images shortly)
Thanks for any help that can be offered!

Issue #1
So that the page didn't load up huge, I am only pasting the links for the image thumbnail; you should be able to click on any image to open it full sized on photobucket

issue #2
Again, I appreciate any help I can get;
I do not expect to ever be able to afford an upgrade of my #1, but I did recently upgrade issue #2, and will look into maybe trading it, or selling it to fund buying one of the last fifteen issues I do not have (or upgrading one of hte lower grade issues I have).

Thank you very much for the reply!
Yeah, the rip on #2 is bad, I have had this issue for a long time, and believe me, it has taken ALOT of restraint for me to not try to tape, or glue the rip...
But since both of these fall between the proverbial cracks as far as conventional grading goes, based on the information provided would anyone please care to venture a guess as to where these might be graded?
I just realized this morning that some of my other comics (were they in high grade) have some serious value to them, so I really need to get on to grading my collection.
I also have Incredible Hulk #180 that has a very 'bleached' front cover - again, I haven't a clue how to grade this...

A whole title is missing?

I have observed some hiccups with the search feature, but assuming that I have done things correctly, it appears as though this whole title is missing from the database;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_What_If_issues
Now the title had a changing title with every issue, the title's constant was "What if..."
Is this an oversight on the part of the powers that be, or have I searched wrong? |

i'll try again - I did that before, but who knows maybe I needed to read this before it would show up... ??
EDIT (because two posts in a row can be annoying);
I just tried twice, and nothing came up;
First time I did;
search price guide: what if
Second time I tried:
search price guide: "what if"
Nothing...
I also tried (without quotations) "marvel presents", "What If", and "what if?"
Nada...
if it's a problem on my end (windows 10 using google chrome) can someone please give me a direct link to the title, because I cannot get to it.
