## How to identify each version

- **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.

**Identity note:** The opened reference identifies Base Set as 116 cards and card 8 as Harry Potter with Holo Portrait Premium treatment. No acceptable opened source established a non-premium version for this exact card.

## Why this card matters

The 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.

## Identifying the exact version

Record 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.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

The 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.

## Authenticity checks

Compare 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.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** Population is the same thing as print run. **What the evidence says:** Chapter 02 says population is a grader's count of submitted and graded copies, not a count of all copies made or still existing.
- **Myth:** An eBay best-offer listing proves the displayed asking price was paid. **What the evidence says:** Chapter 03 requires the actual accepted sale price. The opened best-offer pages did not show that accepted amount, so they were excluded.
- **Myth:** All Harry Potter 8/116 cards can be priced together. **What the evidence says:** Edition, language, finish, grader and grade must stay separate. A 1st Edition holo and Unlimited holo are not the same comparable.
