Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Harry Potter
This is the Harry Potter character card numbered 8/116 from the 2001 Wizards of the Coast Harry Potter TCG Base Set. Collectors search for it because it is the named main-character holo portrait premium from the first WotC Harry Potter TCG set.
Why this card matters
Verified factThe card matters because it is the main character's card in the first Wizards of the Coast Harry Potter TCG Base Set, a 116-card release according to the opened checklist reference. Card 8 is identified as Harry Potter and as a Holo Portrait Premium. That makes exact finish, edition and language important; a Base Set Harry 8/116 holo should not be merged with later Harry Potter TCG cards, Artbox film cards or unrelated Harry Potter collectibles. [1]
Identifying the exact version
AnalysisRecord the card as Harry Potter, Base Set, 8/116, English, Wizards of the Coast and Holo Portrait Premium. Then check edition: 1st Edition and Unlimited copies should remain separate. The opened eBay pages found during research showed sold or ended listings with unclear accepted best-offer prices, so they were not used as accepted sale records. For pricing, require a page that shows the actual transaction price and date for the exact version. [1][2]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisThe key separations are edition, finish, language, grader and grade. A raw Unlimited holo, a PSA 8, a PSA 9 and a CGC 9 are not interchangeable, even when the title says Harry Potter 8/116. Chapter 03 requires sold comparables only, and the opened best-offer eBay pages did not establish the actual accepted price. Those observations belong in an exclusion log rather than the sales array. [2][3]
Authenticity checks
AnalysisCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For raw copies, check English language, card number 8/116, Base Set styling, holo portrait premium finish, edges, surface and back design against a known authentic example. For slabs, verify the cert and then compare the slab and card photos. Avoid treating seller phrases like rookie, ghost rare or grail as identity evidence. [1][2]
Telling the versions apart
| Version | How to identify it |
|---|---|
| 1st Edition holo portrait premium | Confirm the 1st Edition mark, English language, Base Set identity, card number 8/116 and holo portrait premium finish before pricing. |
| Unlimited holo portrait premium | Confirm English Base Set, card number 8/116, holo portrait premium finish and absence of a 1st Edition mark before pricing. |
| Non-premium rare, if verified | Do not assume a non-premium version for this exact card without a checklist or card image proving it; keep it separate if found. |
