Auction House Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions and Goldin sold results below are real auction transactions for G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike 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 auction sale signals, sorted by format, recency, and realized-price signal. PSA production variants can price differently, so the sale records keep each auction house’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 G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike Matters for Grading
G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike is one of the more heavily-graded Atari 2600 titles, with 103 PSA-graded copies on record (101 sealed, 2 CIB). Strong submission volume signals collector demand — and grade premiums are the market’s vote on which copies are scarce. The sealed condition dominates submissions (101 of 103, ~98%) — a strong signal that’s where most collector value sits for this title. Sealed copies trade at roughly 8× the loose price ($115 vs $14). Solid spread for grading speculation if you can source a clean sealed cart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike Atari 2600 worth grading?
Mostly for sealed copies. The sealed-state population (101) outweighs CIB and loose for G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike, indicating sealed is where collector capital concentrates. CIB and loose grading is viable but margins are thinner after fees.
How rare is a graded sealed copy of G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike?
PSA tracks 101 graded sealed copies of G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike for Atari 2600. The grade-tier breakdown above shows how those split across PSA’s numeric grades — top-grade copies (9.4+) are the scarcest and typically command the strongest premiums.
Should I buy a graded or raw copy of G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike?
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 G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike?
PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike on Atari 2600. That doesn’t mean only one variant exists — production codes that haven’t been submitted yet won’t appear on the census. Check the back of your cartridge for production-location markings (“Made in Japan”, “Made in Mexico”) and the box for ESRB-rating placement to identify your specific variant.
