Current Market Prices

PriceCharting hasn’t matched a catalog entry for Chrono Trigger on PlayStation yet — typically a sign of very-low-circulation regional editions or a variant PSA tracks but the wider market hasn’t indexed. Use the eBay sold-comps links below to check recent transactions directly.

Heritage Graded Sales

Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for Chrono Trigger on PlayStation. 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 Chrono Trigger Matters for Grading

Exactly one PSA-graded copy of Chrono Trigger for PlayStation exists on the population census. That makes this title a true population-one rarity in PSA’s video games database. Notable: every graded copy is in the sealed condition — collectors clearly favor that condition tier for this title, and the other conditions are either ungraded territory or grade-and-flip opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Chrono Trigger PlayStation worth grading?

Strong yes for clean copies. With only 1 graded copies on record, Chrono Trigger is squarely in the rare-population tier for PlayStation — 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 Chrono Trigger?

Exactly one — 1 PSA-graded sealed copy of Chrono Trigger on the census. Population-one rarity for collectors who care about that distinction.

Should I buy a graded or raw copy of Chrono Trigger?

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 Chrono Trigger?

PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for Chrono Trigger on PlayStation. 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.
