Auction House Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions and Goldin sold results below are real auction transactions for Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly 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 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 Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Matters for Grading
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly is one of the more heavily-graded PlayStation 2 titles, with 125 PSA populations on record across loose, CIB, and sealed. Strong submission volume signals collector demand — and grade premiums are the market’s vote on which copies are scarce. 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 Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly PlayStation 2 worth grading?
Mostly for sealed copies. The sealed-state population (125) outweighs CIB and loose for Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, 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 Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly?
PSA tracks 125 graded sealed copies of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly for PlayStation 2. 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 Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly?
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 Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly?
PSA recognizes 2 distinct production variants of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly on PlayStation 2. 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.
