Condition decides the price The same card can sell for many times more in a high grade from a grading company such as PSA. These are cards where CardVolume holds verified sales both ungraded and graded, same version: Card Raw (ungraded) PSA 9 PSA 10 [Professor Severus Snape 16/116](https://cardvolume.com/harry-potter/base-set/professor-severus-snape-16-116/) English Holo Portrait Premium $38.00 9 sales $849.95 1 sale — [Hannah Abbott 7/116](https://cardvolume.com/harry-potter/base-set/hannah-abbott-7-116/) English Holo Portrait Premium $5.26 6 sales $58.37 5 sales — [Hermione Granger 9/116](https://cardvolume.com/harry-potter/base-set/hermione-granger-9-116/) Holo portrait premium 9/116 $87.00 4 sales $1,899 2 sales — [Ron Weasley 17/116](https://cardvolume.com/harry-potter/base-set/ron-weasley-17-116/) Holo portrait premium 17/116 $60.00 4 sales $420.00 1 sale — [Hermione, Potion Maker 29/140](https://cardvolume.com/harry-potter/chamber-of-secrets/hermione-potion-maker-29-140/) Unlimited holo portrait premium $199.99 1 sale — $20,000 1 sale [Through the Trapdoor 48/80](https://cardvolume.com/harry-potter/promos/through-the-trapdoor/) Toys R Us pre-order promo-stamped version $425.00 1 sale $1,055 1 sale — [Harry the Seeker 11/80](https://cardvolume.com/harry-potter/quidditch-cup/harry-the-seeker-11-80/) English non-holo rare $3.25 1 sale $79.99 1 sale — Medians of verified sales; a figure from one or two sales is a data point, not a market price. Corners, edges, surface scratches and off-centre printing all lower the grade. Before paying to grade, check whether the numbers work: the [grading calculator](https://cardvolume.com/tools/grading-calculator/) takes the raw, PSA 9 and PSA 10 prices and your grading cost, and gives the chance of a PSA 10 you need to break even. ## 4\. Check what your exact card sold for **Match all four:** card name, set, card number and version (holo or not, language, autograph type). A holo and a non-holo copy of the same card are different cards with different prices. **Use sold prices, not asking prices.** On eBay, search the card and turn on the Sold Items filter. A price shown crossed out means the seller accepted a Best Offer for less, and eBay does not show how much. For graded cards, PSA Auction Prices Realized lists recent sales by grade. **Use several sales.** One sale can be an outlier. CardVolume shows a market price only where at least five verified sales exist in 90 days; otherwise it shows the individual sales. **Search CardVolume** for the card: each card page lists its verified sales by version and grade, with a link to where each sale is recorded. Weekly sales digest · Harry Potter ## Know what Harry Potter cards are selling for One email on Mondays with every new verified Harry Potter sale: price, grade and the listing it came from. Latest [Golden Snitch](https://cardvolume.com/harry-potter/quidditch-cup/golden-snitch-8-80/) PSA 9 **$168.84** eBay via PSA · Oct 6, 2026 ## FAQ Are old Harry Potter cards worth anything? A few Harry Potter cards sell for thousands; most do not. Even among the cards CardVolume tracks, which are the ones collectors look for, half of the 180 verified sales were under $60.00. 25 were $1,000 or more, and 24 of those were graded copies. The valuable ones are Wizards of the Coast holo portrait and foil premium rares (2001-2002), Artbox cast autographs, costume and prop cards (2004-2011), and serial-numbered or autographed cards from newer sets. Which Harry Potter cards are worth the most? Cast autographs and high-grade Wizards of the Coast holos. The highest verified sale is $100,040 for the Daniel Radcliffe / Emma Watson / Rupert Grint Autograph (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Update Autographs, PSA 8) on Sep 9, 2026. The full ranking is on CardVolume's most valuable Harry Potter cards page. Should I get my Harry Potter cards graded? Only cards whose graded price is far above the raw price, and only copies in excellent condition. For example, the Professor Severus Snape 16/116 sold for $38.00 raw against $849.95 in PSA 9. Grading costs money and a lower grade than hoped can lose it; the grading calculator shows the chance of a high grade you need to break even. How do I find out what my Harry Potter card sold for? Look up the exact card, version and grade. On eBay, search the card and filter to Sold Items: asking prices are not sales, and a crossed-out price means a Best Offer was accepted for less than shown. PSA Auction Prices Realized lists graded sales. CardVolume card pages list verified sales with a link to each one.
