Quick Facts

PSA Pop by Condition

PSA tracks Banjo-Tooie populations independently for loose carts, complete-in-box (CIB), and factory-sealed copies — collectors price each condition separately because rarity and demand diverge sharply. Tables below show the grade-tier breakdown per condition, aggregated across 1 variant PSA recognizes for this title.

Current Market Prices

All prices below are pulled directly from PriceCharting’s public catalog and refreshed each time this article regenerates (typically weekly). PriceCharting computes their values from active and recently-sold listings on eBay + their dealer network — 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 Banjo-Tooie on Nintendo 64. 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 Banjo-Tooie Matters for Grading

Banjo-Tooie is one of the more heavily-graded Nintendo 64 titles, with 71 PSA populations on record across loose, CIB, and sealed. Strong submission volume signals collector demand — and grade premiums are the market’s vote on which copies are scarce. The sealed condition dominates submissions (56 of 71, ~78%) — a strong signal that’s where most collector value sits for this title. The sealed-to-loose price ratio is roughly 20× — sealed copies trade at $630 while loose carts move around $31. That spread means a fresh sealed find is the move; raw cart flips have thinner margins after grading fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Banjo-Tooie Nintendo 64 worth grading?

Mostly for sealed copies. The sealed-state population (56) outweighs CIB and loose for Banjo-Tooie, indicating sealed is where collector capital concentrates. CIB and loose grading is viable but margins are thinner after fees.

How rare is a graded sealed copy of Banjo-Tooie?

PSA tracks 56 graded sealed copies of Banjo-Tooie for Nintendo 64. 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 Banjo-Tooie?

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 Banjo-Tooie?

PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for Banjo-Tooie on Nintendo 64. 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.
