Yup out of 550 graded only 50 came out 9.8

The 2nd print in comparison: 50 9.8 out of 80

I have two questions:

1. How can you tell when it is a 1st print versus a second print (besides the sealed bag)? I am going through all of my old comics and cataloging them. DC comics are easy since 2nd, 3rd, etc. prints have the Roman Numerals on the front. I can't figure out how to tell with Marvel comics. The newer ones have the bar code with the 5-digit code that shows what print they are but pre-circa-1993 Marvel comics do not have this.

2. I have 5 sealed 1st print; one with each card. I know they are legit because I am the one who bought them from the comic store back in 1991. Funny thing is that I remember buying them because they were in the bargain bin (which is why I bought 5 copies). I remember picking up a bunch of sealed comics I had never heard of with cards, posters, etc. thinking they may be worth something someday (Blood Syndicate, Hardware, Ghost Rider, and The Amazing Spider-man Annual #27). I remember leaving the store and feeling kind of stupid for buying comics I had never heard of just because they were cheap! They have been sitting in a box since I bought them.

     2a. What is the best way to sell them?

I appreciate any insight. Thank you.
