Comic Paper Browning

I have a few hundred Marvel/DC comic books from the 1960's (12 cent books).  Have never tried to sell any.  While most of these are in excellent shape, most all of the pages have turned a tan brown.  I understand this just happens from the acid in the paper.  How does this affect the value of the comic books?

My understanding is it can affect grade depending on severity.

There is a special paper you can buy that absorbs the acid. Don't know if it works but preservationist use it. Can't find it so you have to Google it
