I’ve been looking for this in Mint for a while. I passed on one for $1k 1-2 years ago and I honestly kind of regret it. I’d put it in that range though.
CIB copies go for consistently 150+ even if really beat up. I’m pretty sure it’s the most expensive of all the original games, so I’m guessing it will be this way with a sealed copy.
Hey! Didn’t wanna make a new thread, as this one seemed somewhat relevant even though it’s a bit old. Did you have any success with finding a copy of crystal? I’ve been looking for GB/GBA era sealed Pokemon games, but either I’m terrible at finding stuff or eBay prices have spiked a lot in the past couple weeks.
Definitely prefer graded for the security of the game and to know how it might compare to others out there. I also love the display look of the WATA cases with all of the information on the game and have the comfort of knowing its legitimate. Will make a sale of the game much easier if I ever decide I need to part with it.
They look better ungraded but graded security is much better and sealed videogames are hitting huge prices. I was talking to another collector about other prospects in the videogame world. Right now long box PS1 sealed games are going that direction.
