Heritage Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man 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 Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man Matters for Grading
With 21 PSA-graded copies on record, Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man sits in the mid-rarity tier for Atari 2600 — graded copies surface periodically on eBay but command meaningful premiums over raw. The sealed condition dominates submissions (19 of 21, ~90%) — a strong signal that’s where most collector value sits for this title. The sealed-to-loose price ratio is roughly 14× — sealed copies trade at $426 while loose carts move around $30. That spread means a fresh sealed find is the move; raw cart flips have thinner margins after grading fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man Atari 2600 worth grading?
Mostly for sealed copies. The sealed-state population (19) outweighs CIB and loose for Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man, 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 Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man?
PSA tracks 19 graded sealed copies of Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man 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 Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man?
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 Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man?
PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man 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.
