Heritage Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for BeatMania IIDX 16: Empress + Premium Best on PlayStation 2. 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 BeatMania IIDX 16: Empress + Premium Best Matters for Grading

Frequently Asked Questions
Is BeatMania IIDX 16: Empress + Premium Best PlayStation 2 worth grading?
Possibly — no PSA-graded copies of BeatMania IIDX 16: Empress + Premium Best exist on the census yet, so any submission you make today locks in pop-1 provenance. Whether that’s worth the $50-$100 grading fee depends on how clean your raw copy is and what comparable sealed/CIB titles for PlayStation 2 are trading for in graded form.
How rare is a graded sealed copy of BeatMania IIDX 16: Empress + Premium Best?
PSA hasn’t graded any sealed copies of BeatMania IIDX 16: Empress + Premium Best for PlayStation 2 yet — meaning the first submission would establish the population baseline. Use the sold-comps eBay link above to check whether ungraded copies are surfacing in this condition tier.
Should I buy a graded or raw copy of BeatMania IIDX 16: Empress + Premium Best?
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 BeatMania IIDX 16: Empress + Premium Best?
PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for BeatMania IIDX 16: Empress + Premium Best on PlayStation 2. 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.
