My Experience Trying to Consign Video Games Through Heritage Auctions

Just wanted to share my recent experience for anyone considering having a sealed game graded and sold through Heritage Auctions.

I have a couple of sealed Pokémon games that appear to be in very good condition, so I contacted Heritage to see whether they might be interested in consigning them. Their response was positive about the type of material, but they explained that video-game consignments must meet a total estimated value minimum of $5,000.

They told me:

So, for the average collector with one or two potentially desirable sealed games, Heritage may not be a practical option unless you have enough additional material to bring the estimated consignment value to at least $5,000.

If anyone here has consigned games with Heritage, I’d be interested to hear how the process worked for you, particularly with grading, reserve expectations, fees, and final realized prices.
