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 Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness 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 Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness Matters for Grading

With 22 PSA-graded copies on record, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness sits in the mid-rarity tier for Nintendo 64 — graded copies surface periodically on eBay but command meaningful premiums over raw. The sealed condition dominates submissions (21 of 22, ~95%) — a strong signal that’s where most collector value sits for this title. Sealed copies trade at roughly 4× the loose price ($643 vs $159). Solid spread for grading speculation if you can source a clean sealed cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness Nintendo 64 worth grading?

Mostly for sealed copies. The sealed-state population (21) outweighs CIB and loose for Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, 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 Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness?

PSA tracks 21 graded sealed copies of Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness 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 Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness?

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 Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness?

PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness 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.
