Hi
I just hold of around 100 comics- they seem to be in a good condition and in bags. I'm not sure how to price them though, are these graded? How do you know if its good or very good or excellent? I have pictures but don't know how to post them here.
Thanks for your help!

Start with providing us a list of the comics title and issue number (ex: Fantastic Four #200) here, and we can go from there with telling you if it's POSSIBLE they're worth anything. It's possible your 100 comics could be worth thousands of dollars... or $20.

I tried looking at the pricing but have no idea how to rank these comics, they are in a plastic bag with a white back but the plastic is old, I had to wipe each down due to them being grimey. But since they are in individual bags are they graded or not, that's what I am confused about.

Thanks for the info on grading, I looked at the images - these are definitely not graded.
These are some of the comics (still trying to sort and write them all down, will try posting the pictures though I have never used photobucket before:
Most say "Direct Edition" on the Barcodes, not sure if that makes any difference
1. Rebel Week #1
2. Ravage 2009 #32
3. Protectors #6
4. Ravage 2009 (12 Nov)
5. Protectors #12
6. The Punisher (2 Aug)
7. Shadow # 17
8. Sleepwalker (22 Mar)
9. Superman Reign of the Supermen #687
10. Warriors of Plasm (Aug 1)
Thanks for your help!

if it is placed within a hard enclosed case, those are the only graded forms of comic books. the rest are just sealed or in the original shipping bags that should be removed and put into new sleeves if that is the case. You will see a label atop the casing as well for any graded comic books all the rest are raw grade and it is a crap shoot on what each person views as a 7.0, 8.0, and even up to the 9.0's. a lot of people like to think they have the highest grade of 9 but usually they are within the typical lower range of 9 or even in the 8 range as well. This is very normal for most collections; and then it all is based on how the collection has, was, or is taken care of.

Your list so far looks like overproduced books from the 90's. These sell wholesale between retailers for pennies a copy in bulk. The wholesale value of most is about a nickle. When the books were new, retailers bought them from the distributor for about 45%-52% off cover price. The value of these to retailers has decreased significantly over time. You may have something better than these and if so, just screen for anything in the guide with a significantly escalated price. Otherwise, the going price would be a generically assigned price of $1 in the real world. The price of $1 would be assigned because it isn't worth the time to sort, process, and grade comics with this low of a price otherwise. Retailers put these unsorted in dollar boxes and just roll the dice to see if one customer is interested enough to buy one. They might salt the books with something better or more valuable to keep collectors interested enough to even look at the boxes.
