Heritage Graded Sales
Heritage Auctions sold results below are real auction transactions for Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island 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.

Why Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island Matters for Grading
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island is one of the more heavily-graded Super Nintendo (SNES) titles, with 70 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. The sealed-to-loose price ratio is roughly 23× — sealed copies trade at $932 while loose carts move around $40. That spread means a fresh sealed find is the move; raw cart flips have thinner margins after grading fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island Super Nintendo (SNES) worth grading?
Mostly for sealed copies. The sealed-state population (43) outweighs CIB and loose for Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, 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 Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island?
PSA tracks 43 graded sealed copies of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island 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 Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island?
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 Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island?
PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island on Super Nintendo (SNES). 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.
