Current Market Prices
PriceCharting hasn’t matched a catalog entry for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace on PlayStation yet — typically a sign of very-low-circulation regional editions or a variant PSA tracks but the wider market hasn’t indexed.

Heritage Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 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 Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Matters for Grading
With 15 PSA-graded copies on record, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace sits in the mid-rarity tier for PlayStation — graded copies surface periodically on eBay but command meaningful premiums over raw. 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. Because PSA tracks 2 variants separately, production-code identification matters before submission. The pop-by-variant breakdown above tells you which variant is the rarer find.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace PlayStation worth grading?
Mostly for sealed copies. The sealed-state population (15) outweighs CIB and loose for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, 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 Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace?
PSA tracks 15 graded sealed copies of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace for PlayStation. 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 Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace?
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 Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace?
PSA recognizes 2 distinct production variants of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace on PlayStation. Variants reflect real production differences — different factories (Made in Japan vs Made in Mexico), packaging die changes, ESRB-rating retrofits added partway through the console’s life, or Players Choice reissues from later runs. Collectors price them differently because rarity diverges, and PSA tracks each on its own population row so the data reflects the real market structure.
