Graded Pokemon Red and Yellow Games Sell For Big Money at Auction
The games are just the latest pieces of vintage Pokemon paraphernalia to sell for jaw-dropping prices. The graded Pokemon card market has also recently exploded, with graded First Edition Charizard cards selling for as high as $180,000 online. Although the market has been driven upwards by celebrity purchases, it's also a sign of the Pokemon franchises lasting popularity among its fans. After all, the Pokemon franchise turns 25 years old tomorrow, which means that all of those 10 year kids playing Pokemon games in the back of buses have a bit more spending power than they did back then.
If you have a copy of a classic Pokemon game that you want graded, you can send it to Wata Games to have it officially slabbed and graded. Grading costs as low as $45, and you can get just about any game graded. You can even have your cartridges or manuals graded, although those seem to be selling for significantly less online. Additionally, even "high graded" Pokemon games (such as an 8.0 copy of Pokemon Red) sell for significantly less, so you'll need a near-perfect copy if you're hoping to get rich by selling your old Pokemon games.

I have a copy of Pokemon yellow that got washed when I was a kid and is missing the sticker. That means it's graded right? I'll take $100,000.
