Current Market Prices

All prices below come from PriceCharting’s public catalog as of this page’s last update. PriceCharting calculates its values from completed sales on eBay and its own marketplace — independent of any data on this page. The Sealed column is PriceCharting’s “New” price — factory-sealed retail at average condition; specific graded-sealed prices vary sharply by numeric grade + seal letter (use the Sealed eBay browse link below for grade-specific comps).

Auction House Graded Sales

Heritage Auctions and Goldin sold results below are real auction transactions for Pokémon Trading Card Game on Game Boy Color. 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 auction sales by format. The sale records keep each auction house’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.
