Many have commented on owning some supplements; if anyone can give me a lead on purchasing these two pieces let me know, i'd be happy to make a fair offer.

IMO in their conditions the Wagner is worth around $500-750 and the Cobb/Wagner $1200-1500.
As Jeff, Mark, & Doug have said, a grading company isn't going to tell you much that you can't see from the back of the supplement. You can see tears, mold, etc from a good back scan so a grade from a 3rd party isn't necessarily going to bring more money. If you are only in it for the money, maybe now is a good time to get these graded cuz registry wars haven't yet started for these. If you are a collector though, this isn't as important.
As a side note, you said you are looking for Pirates pieces. There are a few other Pirates in the set (that'll be much cheaper on the pocket too, except maybe the Pirates Team issue):
Oct 7, 1909 Fred Clarke
Nov 11, 1909 Pirates Team
Dec 23, 1909 Thomas Leach
Jan 20, 1910 Charles Adams
Mar 10, 1910 George Gibson & Bugs Raymond
Jan 26, 1911 Robert Byrnes
Oct 26, 1911 Martin O'Toole & William Kelly
Good luck!
