The most valuable graded Game Boy Color game is Pokémon Silver Version, with a PSA 9.8 A++ copy realizing $109,800 at Goldin. Below are the top 10 GBC 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 Color games, not catalog multipliers. Grades shown reflect the grader at the time of each sale (WATA, CGC, or VGA); PSA now grades games after acquiring WATA and completing the rebrand to PSA Video Games in October 2025. 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 Color 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.

Pokémon Silver Version — a PSA 9.8 A++ copy realized $109,800 at Goldin. Heritage and Goldin have logged 37 sold sales for it.

How are these Game Boy Color game values determined?

Every figure is a real sold result from the graded video-game archives of Heritage Auctions and Goldin, grouped by grader and grade, then ranked by the highest representative realized price (median where three or more comparable sales exist).

Yes. PSA acquired WATA in July 2021 and completed the rebrand to PSA Video Games on October 20, 2025, so new submissions are graded by PSA. The grades on older sales above reflect WATA, CGC, or VGA — the grader at the time of each sale.
