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 reflects PriceCharting’s “manual-only” / new tier — 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).

Heritage Graded Sales

Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for Tecmo Super Bowl on Sega Genesis. 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 Tecmo Super Bowl Matters for Grading

PSA has graded only 7 copies of Tecmo Super Bowl for Sega Genesis across all conditions — a tiny graded population. The sealed condition dominates submissions (6 of 7, ~85%) — a strong signal that’s where most collector value sits for this title. Sealed copies trade at roughly 5× the loose price ($59 vs $11). Solid spread for grading speculation if you can source a clean sealed cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tecmo Super Bowl Sega Genesis worth grading?

Strong yes for clean copies. With only 7 graded copies on record, Tecmo Super Bowl is squarely in the rare-population tier for Sega Genesis — 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 Tecmo Super Bowl?

PSA tracks 6 graded sealed copies of Tecmo Super Bowl for Sega Genesis. 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 Tecmo Super Bowl?

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 Tecmo Super Bowl?

PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for Tecmo Super Bowl on Sega Genesis. 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.
