Heritage Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for Street Fighter Alpha 3 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.
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factory sealed | CGC 9.8 A+ | Last sale $450 | Jun 3, 2025 | 1 |
| Factory sealed | CGC 9.4 A++ | Last sale $225 | Feb 11, 2025 | 1 |

Why Street Fighter Alpha 3 Matters for Grading
PSA has graded only 8 copies of Street Fighter Alpha 3 for Game Boy Advance across all conditions — a tiny population that puts collectors who own a graded copy in a roster of fewer than 13 known holders. Sealed copies trade at roughly 6× the loose price ($225 vs $35). Solid spread for grading speculation if you can source a clean sealed cart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Street Fighter Alpha 3 Game Boy Advance worth grading?
Strong yes for clean copies. With only 8 graded copies on record, Street Fighter Alpha 3 is squarely in the rare-population tier for Game Boy Advance — and PSA grading adds meaningful provenance on titles with this little supply. Grade-and-hold is the play; flipping mid-grade copies thins margins fast.
How rare is a graded sealed copy of Street Fighter Alpha 3?
PSA tracks 5 graded sealed copies of Street Fighter Alpha 3 for Game Boy Advance. 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 Street Fighter Alpha 3?
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 Street Fighter Alpha 3?
PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for Street Fighter Alpha 3 on Game Boy Advance. 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.
