No major spine stress or color breaking creases are immediately apparent through the bag, but standard minor shelf wear may be present.
Estimated Market Value
Raw value estimated between $2.00 to $5.00. Graded value is generally not cost-effective for this issue as it typically sells for less than the cost of professional grading.
Recent Sales
Recent online sales for raw copies of Trencher #2 generally range from $1.99 to $4.99 depending on the platform and seller.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading (CGC/CBCS). The grading fees and shipping costs would far exceed the market value of the book.
