Heritage Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow on Game Boy Advance. They complement the PriceCharting loose / CIB / sealed benchmarks above; they are not estimates and they are not blended into PriceCharting’s ungraded market prices.
The first table sums up this game’s Heritage sales by format. The sale records keep Heritage’s own variant notes, because a lot listing doesn’t always say which PSA variant it is.
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.
