Variant Comparison

PSA recognizes 2 distinct production variants of Codebreaker, each tracked on its own population row because collectors value them differently.

PSA Pop by Condition

PSA tracks Codebreaker populations independently for loose carts, complete-in-box (CIB), and factory-sealed copies — collectors price each condition separately because rarity and demand diverge sharply. Tables below show the grade-tier breakdown per condition, aggregated across 2 variants PSA recognizes for this title.

Loose Cartridge

PSA hasn’t graded any loose copies of Codebreaker for Atari 2600 yet.

Current Market Prices

All prices below come from PriceCharting’s public catalog as of this page’s last update. PriceCharting calculates its values from completed sales on eBay and its own marketplace — independent of any data on this page. The Sealed column reflects PriceCharting’s “manual-only” / new tier — factory-sealed retail at average condition; specific graded-sealed prices vary sharply by numeric grade + seal letter (use the Sealed eBay browse link below for grade-specific comps).

• Loose cartridge: $9.99

• Complete in Box (CIB): $27

• Sealed: $72

All 2 PSA-tracked variants share the same PriceCharting prices because PriceCharting indexes at the title level, not the variant level. Variant-specific pricing surfaces on eBay sold-comp data — check the Sealed / CIB / Loose browse links below for variant-aware market signals.

Heritage Graded Sales

Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for Codebreaker on Atari 2600. They complement the PriceCharting loose / CIB / sealed benchmarks above; they are not estimates and they are not blended into PriceCharting’s ungraded market prices.

Summary rows are title-level Heritage sale signals, sorted by format, recency, and realized-price signal. PSA production variants can price differently, so the sale records keep Heritage’s own variant notes visible instead of pretending every auction lot maps cleanly to a PSA variant row.

High-grade games can trade years apart, so older auction records stay visible; treat the latest-sale date as part of the comp, not just the dollar amount.

Why Codebreaker Matters for Grading

PSA hasn’t logged a single graded copy of Codebreaker on Atari 2600 yet — meaning whoever submits the first nice copy locks in the population-of-one provenance forever. Sealed copies trade at roughly 7× the loose price ($72 vs $9.99). Solid spread for grading speculation if you can source a clean sealed cart. Because PSA tracks 2 variants separately, production-code identification matters before submission. The pop-by-variant breakdown above tells you which variant is the rarer find.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Codebreaker Atari 2600 worth grading?

Possibly — no PSA-graded copies of Codebreaker exist on the census yet, so any submission you make today locks in pop-1 provenance. Whether that’s worth the $50-$100 grading fee depends on how clean your raw copy is and what comparable sealed/CIB titles for Atari 2600 are trading for in graded form.

How rare is a graded sealed copy of Codebreaker?

PSA hasn’t graded any sealed copies of Codebreaker for Atari 2600 yet — meaning the first submission would establish the population baseline. Use the sold-comps eBay link above to check whether ungraded copies are surfacing in this condition tier.

Should I buy a graded or raw copy of Codebreaker?

Depends on your goal. Graded copies cost more upfront but come with PSA’s authenticity + condition guarantee — the right move for buy-and-hold collectors. Raw copies are cheaper but require condition assessment yourself, and the grading lottery means a $50 raw cart can come back as a $25 PSA 7 OR a $200 PSA 9.4. Use the per-condition pop and price data above to calculate expected value before you commit.

Why does PSA track multiple variants of Codebreaker?

PSA recognizes 2 distinct production variants of Codebreaker on Atari 2600. Variants reflect real production differences — different factories (Made in Japan vs Made in Mexico), packaging die changes, ESRB-rating retrofits added partway through the console’s life, or Players Choice reissues from later runs. Collectors price them differently because rarity diverges, and PSA tracks each on its own population row so the data reflects the real market structure.
