Why Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition Matters for Grading

PSA has graded only 8 copies of Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition for Super Nintendo (SNES) across all conditions — a tiny population that puts collectors who own a graded copy in a roster of fewer than 13 known holders. The sealed condition dominates submissions (7 of 8, ~87%) — a strong signal that’s where most collector value sits for this title. Sealed copies trade at roughly 9× the loose price ($228 vs $25). Solid spread for grading speculation if you can source a clean sealed cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition Super Nintendo (SNES) worth grading?

Strong yes for clean copies. With only 8 graded copies on record, Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition is squarely in the rare-population tier for Super Nintendo (SNES) — and PSA grading adds meaningful provenance on titles with this little supply. Grade-and-hold is the play; flipping mid-grade copies thins margins fast.

How rare is a graded sealed copy of Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition?

PSA tracks 7 graded sealed copies of Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition for Super Nintendo (SNES). The grade-tier breakdown above shows how those split across PSA’s numeric grades — top-grade copies (9.4+) are the scarcest and typically command the strongest premiums.

Should I buy a graded or raw copy of Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition?

Depends on your goal. Graded copies cost more upfront but come with PSA’s authenticity + condition guarantee — the right move for buy-and-hold collectors. Raw copies are cheaper but require condition assessment yourself, and the grading lottery means a $50 raw cart can come back as a $25 PSA 7 OR a $200 PSA 9.4. Use the per-condition pop and price data above to calculate expected value before you commit.

Why does PSA track multiple variants of Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition?

PSA’s database currently shows one tracked variant for Tecmo Super Bowl III: Final Edition on Super Nintendo (SNES). That doesn’t mean only one variant exists — production codes that haven’t been submitted yet won’t appear on the census. Check the back of your cartridge for production-location markings (“Made in Japan”, “Made in Mexico”) and the box for ESRB-rating placement to identify your specific variant.
