Heritage Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for Hot Slots on Nintendo NES. 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.
| Format | Grade | Sale signal | Latest sale | Comps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factory sealed (Clamshell Left Spine Right Printing) | WATA 9.0 B+ | Last sale $9,000 | Apr 22, 2022 | 1 |
Sale records:
| Date | Sold For | Grader / Grade | Format | Variant Notes | Source |

Why Hot Slots Matters for Grading
PSA has graded only 2 copies of Hot Slots for Nintendo NES across all conditions — a tiny population that puts collectors who own a graded copy in a roster of fewer than 7 known holders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hot Slots Nintendo NES worth grading?
Strong yes for clean copies. With only 2 graded copies on record, Hot Slots is squarely in the rare-population tier for Nintendo NES — 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 Hot Slots?
Exactly one — 1 PSA-graded sealed copy of Hot Slots on the census. Population-one rarity for collectors who care about that distinction.
Should I buy a graded or raw copy of Hot Slots?
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 Hot Slots?
PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for Hot Slots on Nintendo NES. 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.
