Opened references also show #2/116 Holo Portrait Premium and #3b/116 normal rare as separate Draco entries; no opened source established 1st Edition versus Unlimited card-level variants. ## Why this card matters Draco Malfoy appears in more than one Base Set premium treatment, which makes exact identification the main research task. Vault 713 lists the Base Set as a 116-card 2001 WotC release and separately catalogs Draco #2, #3, and #3b. The #3/116 foil is a different comparable pool from the Holo Portrait Premium #2/116 and from the normal #3b variant. ## Identifying the exact version The target version is English Base Set Draco Malfoy #3/116 with Foil Premium treatment. Do not use the #2 Holo Portrait Premium as a direct comp unless the question is about Draco demand broadly and the limitation is stated. Do not merge #3b normal rare into the foil record. If a listing title says holo, foil, or rare but also gives another number, exclude it until the photos confirm the exact card. ## What moves the price between versions and grades The opened sale evidence for this exact #3 foil was very thin: one PriceCharting eBay-feed record for a CGC 8 sale in August 2026. A separate PriceCharting line on the same page appeared to show a Goldin sale for Ron Weasley, not Draco, so it was excluded. That illustrates why card number, character, grader, grade, and title must be checked before using a sale. ## Authenticity checks Compare the physical card to the exact #3/116 Foil Premium reference and keep #2 and #3b out of the same authentication checklist. Confirm the English back, borders, foil treatment, typography, and card number. For slabs, verify the cert but do not rely on the number alone; PSA warns that copied cert numbers can appear on counterfeit inserts. Do not trim, clean, recolor, or perform destructive tests. ## Common misconceptions - **Myth:** Draco #2 and Draco #3 are interchangeable because both are premium cards. **What the evidence says:** The opened references support separate card numbers and treatments: #2 is Holo Portrait Premium, while #3 is Foil Premium. They need separate comps. - **Myth:** The Goldin BGS 9 sale shown on one price page proves a Draco #3 value. **What the evidence says:** The opened PriceCharting page displayed a Goldin line for Ron Weasley #17 under Draco #3 foil; it was excluded as a mismatched sale. - **Myth:** A graded 8 sale establishes the value of raw copies. **What the evidence says:** Raw and graded cards must be priced separately because the slab grade, grader, and condition premium change the comparable pool. - **Myth:** If the card is early WotC, future value is guaranteed. **What the evidence says:** The knowledge base rejects guaranteed appreciation claims; exact sales, liquidity, and downside still need evidence. ## FAQ ### How much did a CGC 8 Draco Malfoy #3/116 Foil Premium sell for?
