Heritage Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge (NFR) on Super Nintendo (SNES). 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| CIB (Made in Mexico) | WATA 7.5 | 2 comps, wide spread $6,600-$15,000 | Nov 4, 2022 | 2 |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge (NFR) Super Nintendo (SNES) worth grading?
Yes for clean, top-condition copies. Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge (NFR) has a healthy 18-copy graded population, and the higher-tier grades (9.4+) consistently command meaningful premiums over raw. Mid-tier grades (7-8) often net break-even after grading fees, so submission strategy matters.
How rare is a graded CIB copy of Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge (NFR)?
PSA tracks 12 graded CIB copies of Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge (NFR) for Super Nintendo (SNES). 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 Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge (NFR)?
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 Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge (NFR)?
PSA recognizes 2 distinct production variants of Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge (NFR) on Super Nintendo (SNES). 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.
