This post contains affiliate links — we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
The PlayStation 2 games collectors care about most are Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Kingdom Hearts II and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City: they have the most PSA-graded copies of any PS2 title, counting each game on its own (box-set copies aside). Of the 1,261 US-release PS2 games PSA has graded, the ten most-graded hold 15% of those slabs, and 10 of the top 25 can still be bought sealed for under $40.
The 25 PS2 Games Collectors Grade Most
99% of the 24,984 US-release PS2 copies PSA has graded are sealed (206 are complete in box), so prices lead with sealed. Titles are ranked by how many copies collectors paid to authenticate and slab - the clearest public signal of which games people want to own, not just play.

Sealed and complete prices are PriceCharting’s current values for ungraded copies; a graded slab sells for more, as the auction column shows.

-
Grand Theft Auto III: 2,432 sealed copies listed as part of a set (The Trilogy)

How This Ranking Works
-
PSA-graded copies come from PSA’s US video-game population report as of 2026-10-15 (24,984 PS2 copies, 99% sealed, 206 complete in box; PSA publishes no disc-only PS2 population), summed across every variant PSA lists for a title except box-set copies. International releases are in separate PSA reports and are not counted here.
-
Sealed and complete prices are PriceCharting’s values for ungraded copies as of 2026-10-18.
-
Auction sales are completed Heritage Auctions and Goldin sales, buyer’s premium included (3,535 PS2 sales on file).
-
The full dataset is in the PS2 library and as a CSV download.
A graded-copy count measures collector demand, not how good a game is to play: a title can be loved and rarely slabbed. It is the one ranking here that comes from what collectors actually did.
