The most valuable graded Game Boy Advance game is Pokémon Emerald Version, with a PSA 9.8 A++ copy realizing $122,732 at Goldin. Below are the top 10 GBA games ranked by real graded sold prices — not estimates.

Every figure here comes from the sold archives of Heritage Auctions and Goldin — actual prices realized (buyer’s premium included) for graded Game Boy Advance games, not catalog multipliers.

Each game links to its full price + population breakdown.

How These Rankings Are Built

There is no estimating here. We index every graded Game Boy Advance game that has sold through Heritage Auctions and Goldin, group sales by grader and grade, and rank by the highest representative realized price. PriceCharting’s per-grade video-game figures are derived multipliers and are not used for these rankings — only the auction houses’ actual prices realized are.
