The only PSA 10 sealed Pokémon Snap sold for $231,800, more than a 9.8 Super Mario 64 made in August
A factory-sealed 1999 Pokémon Snap for the Nintendo 64 sold for $231,800 at Landry Pop Auctions on November 3. The house lists that figure as an unofficial result with buyer's premium included. The estimate was $200,000 to $300,000, so it landed about 16% above the low end.
The copy is graded PSA 10 with a Sealed A++ seal rating, PSA cert 606756-072. Landry Pop's lot page gives the census as one at PSA 10 and none higher, so it is the only copy at the top grade. It came from a consignor the house calls The Dubai Collection, and it sold in Landry Pop's "Pokémon Icons" sale, built around the collection of Doug Ferguson, a former senior vice president of product development at The Pokémon Company International.
What it sold against
The cleanest comparison is the N64's own flagship. At Heritage on August 29, 2026, a PSA 9.8 A++ sealed Super Mario 64 sold for $225,000 with premium, per What The Slab's retro game auction report. The same report lists a PSA 9.8 A++ GoldenEye 007 at $125,000 and a PSA 9.8 A++ Ocarina of Time at $81,250 from that sale.
So a spin-off photography game, one most players treated as a side dish to the main Pokémon titles, sold for more than the best-known N64 game at the grade just below it. The grades aren't the same, and that is the point: the Snap is a 10 and alone at the top, while there is more than one Super Mario 64 at 9.8 in the market's history.
Two other comps help place it:
- A sealed 1998 Pokémon Red at PSA 9.8 A++ sold for $124,000 at Goldin in February 2026, as reported by AuctionReport.
- A sealed Pokémon Red at CGC 9.6 A++ sold in the same Landry Pop sale on November 3 for $24,400.
The gap between those two Reds, both sealed, is about five times. The top of the census is where the money is, for Pokémon games as much as for cards.
The rest of the sale
The Ferguson material carried the card side. A 2007 Pokémon World Championships No. 1 Trainer, CGC 8 and the only one at that grade with none higher, made $85,400. A 2017 Ishihara GX 60th Birthday Party promo at CGC 8 also made $85,400. Ferguson's own 2019 farewell card, an 18-by-25-inch jumbo "Doug Ferguson GX" that Landry Pop says was one of five made, made $50,800 against a $30,000 to $50,000 estimate. Those rows are in Recent Comps.
Not everything cleared its estimate. A 1996 CoroCoro Comic #223 with its Pokémon card inserts unpeeled made $46,360 against $70,000 to $100,000. Results across the sale were mixed, which makes the Snap result more telling: bidders weren't paying any price for anything Pokémon. They paid up for the one-of-one.
Why it matters for the market
Pokémon games have been leading graded game sales for weeks. In our log, Pokémon titles topped The Graded Games Report's weekly eBay sales in five of six weeks from late August to early October. That run was mostly Game Boy, Game Boy Color and DS titles in the $14,000 to $40,000 range. This sale moves the conversation to six figures and to the N64.
The census is doing the pricing. A PSA 10 Sealed A++ with no one else at the grade gives a buyer something no later copy can take away unless another 10 turns up. That is the same logic that drives pop-1 cards, and it now shows up in sealed games at this level.
2021 prices are not the reference anymore. In July 2021 a Wata 9.8 A++ Super Mario 64 made $1.56 million at Heritage. Five years later the PSA 9.8 A++ copy made $225,000. Different graders and different copies, but the drop shows how far the top of the market reset. A $231,800 Pokémon Snap is a strong price in the 2026 market, not a return to 2021.
What it doesn't tell you. One copy at one house is one data point. PSA's census can change if more sealed Snaps are submitted, and a second PSA 10 would test this price at once.
