# Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection: sold-price estimates (ps2)

Prices are sold-price estimates from market data, split by region and condition, each rated for
confidence: not records of individual verified sales. "Sealed" reports listing claims, never verified factory authenticity.
They're a guide, not an offer: a game is worth what someone pays for it, and shops, markets and local sales can be higher or
lower. Condition, photos and the seller's reputation move a price within the range (p25 to p75).
A boxed (CIB) price spans the box's condition: p25 ≈ a worn box (tears, stickers, crushing), median = typical, p75 and up ≈ an
excellent box. The box here is a plastic case (pal), a plastic case (ntsc), a plastic case (ntscj).

| region | tier | median | p25 to p75 | n | confidence |
|--------|------|--------|---------|---|------------|
| ntsc | cib | $85 | $75 to $94 | 34 | high |
| ntsc | loose | $40 | $26 to $54 | 2 | guess |
| ntsc | sealed | $160 | $123 to $175 | 27 | high |

## Graded (WATA, CGC, VGA, PSA, UKG), per version

Today's prices, from every graded sale of this game (older sales brought to today's market level); each version is its own market. Any other company and grade can be priced on the game page (an estimate when nobody has sold it yet).

**A sealed copy at WATA 9.0 A+, US (NTSC-U) version: about $271**

### US (NTSC-U)
