I have 5 comics I want to sell, and I am trying to grade them. They have been put away and stored well for over 20 years. As far as I know they are unread and the only defect they have are the spine breaks which are tiny, but they all have several. Otherwise they are bright, no creases or damage what so ever on the cover or any of the pages. I was confused on how to grade them. Can I please ask for an opinion on this. I am not an avid collector, I just really liked heavy metal and bought these comics long ago when I was a 'metal head'. I am older and just don't have a need for these anymore. I want to grade them accurately so I don't get any backlash after the sale. I truly appreciate any help I can get here.

It's really going to depend on how deep, long and noticeable the spine breaks are, as well as how many of them there are. If it's only one or two very tiny ones, you are probably looking at a 9.2 or so. If there are a few, but they aren't very long, it can go down even further to a 7.0 or so. And if they are long or really deep, they can go down 5.0 or lower. But, grading is pretty subjective, so if you ask 3 people what they'd grade something at, you can get 3 different grades.
If you want a good way to get a decent idea of a comic's grade, try this:
