Auction House Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions and Goldin sold results below are real auction transactions for Vagrant Story 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 auction sale signals, sorted by format, recency, and realized-price signal. PSA production variants can price differently, so the sale records keep each auction house’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 Vagrant Story Matters for Grading
Vagrant Story is one of the more heavily-graded PlayStation titles, with 53 PSA-graded copies on record (50 sealed, 3 CIB). Strong submission volume signals collector demand — and grade premiums are the market’s vote on which copies are scarce. The sealed condition dominates submissions (50 of 53, ~94%) — a strong signal that’s where most collector value sits for this title. Sealed copies trade at roughly 5× the loose price ($401 vs $70). Solid spread for grading speculation if you can source a clean sealed cart. Because PSA tracks 4 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 Vagrant Story PlayStation worth grading?
Mostly for sealed copies. The sealed-state population (50) outweighs CIB and loose for Vagrant Story, 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 Vagrant Story?
PSA tracks 50 graded sealed copies of Vagrant Story 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 Vagrant Story?
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 Vagrant Story?
PSA recognizes 4 distinct production variants of Vagrant Story 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.
