The checklist identifies it as a Holo Portrait Premium character card, Wizard - Gryffindor, with Jon Foster credited as artist. The Vault 713 page also identifies the card as Base 1/116 and gives its Holo Portrait Premium rarity, supporting the exact identity used here. ## Identifying the exact version The exact card is English Dean Thomas 1/116 from the WotC Base Set. Confirm the 1/116 number, Dean Thomas name, English rules text, Character type, Gryffindor subtype, Unique keyword, and holo-portrait finish. Do not rely on broad words like foil, rare, or Harry Potter TCG without seeing the number and photos. This pass did not verify a separate 1st Edition or Unlimited version, so those labels remain unadopted unless a future source proves them. ## What moves the price between versions and grades The opened sales separate a PSA 8 slab from a raw lightly played card. The PSA 8 eBay sold page displayed $49.99 on 2026-09-09, while a raw LP eBay Australia sold page displayed US $5.00 on 2026-07-21. These two sales should not be averaged into a single value because they reflect different condition evidence, buyer confidence, and selling formats. Any future PSA 9 or PSA 10 comp should be recorded separately. ## Authenticity checks Compare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For Dean Thomas, verify the card number 1/116, English text, Base Set identity, holo-portrait finish, and back design. If slabbed, match the cert, label, grade, and holder to seller photos. PSA cert verification is useful, but PSA warns that a cert lookup does not eliminate risk because counterfeit inserts can use copied certification numbers. ## Common misconceptions - **Myth:** Card number 1/116 makes Dean Thomas automatically more valuable than later numbers. **What the evidence says:** The number helps identify the object; value still requires exact sold comps, condition, grade, and liquidity evidence. - **Myth:** A raw LP sale and PSA 8 sale can be averaged together. **What the evidence says:** Raw and graded cards are separate comparable categories and should stay separate. - **Myth:** Population would equal print run if found. **What the evidence says:** Population is a graded-copy count only and cannot be used as factory print run. - **Myth:** The seed's 1st Edition label is established. **What the evidence says:** Opened references did not verify a 1st Edition/Unlimited split for Dean Thomas 1/116. ## FAQ ### How much is a PSA 8 Dean Thomas 1/116 worth?
