No opened source established 1st Edition versus Unlimited card-level variants. ## Why this card matters Human Chess Game #11/116 sits in the early premium portion of the 116-card Base Set checklist and is cataloged as a Foil Premium Adventure. The card references a memorable first-book scene, but the collectible record should remain factual: set, number, finish, language, and condition drive the evidence. The opened PSA records provide a better basis for recent PSA 9 comps than broad Harry Potter TCG price claims. ## Identifying the exact version The target card is English Base Set Human Chess Game #11/116 with foil finish and Ron Spears artwork. PSA cert pages identify graded examples as 2001 WotC Harry Potter #11 Human Chess Game Foil. Do not use non-WotC film cards, game cards, or other chess-scene collectibles as comps. For slabs, record PSA, grade 9, and the cert or lot detail separately from raw examples. ## What moves the price between versions and grades The opened PSA page showed five PSA 9 eBay sales from June through September 2026, ranging from $52.81 to $110.65. The sale types included fixed price and Best Offer, so the venue field matters. Because all retained sales are PSA 9, they do not establish raw, PSA 8, PSA 10, CGC, or BGS values for this card. ## Authenticity checks Compare against the exact #11/116 foil reference: Human Chess Game name, Adventure type, English text, Ron Spears artwork, Base Set back, and foil surface. Use several checks together and avoid destructive testing. For graded examples, match the PSA cert data to the slab and visible card, while remembering that PSA says copied certification numbers and counterfeit inserts can exist. ## Common misconceptions - **Myth:** A PSA 9 run of sales establishes every grade's price. **What the evidence says:** The opened sales are PSA 9 only; ch03 requires separate comparable pools for each grader and grade. - **Myth:** Human Chess Game has a known public print run because PSA has a population count. **What the evidence says:** Population is a graded-copy count, not a factory print run or a count of all copies in existence. - **Myth:** Best Offer and fixed-price sales should be treated the same without notes. **What the evidence says:** Sale type is part of the record because accepted-offer evidence and fixed-price sales can carry different interpretation risk. - **Myth:** A cert lookup authenticates the item with no further checks. **What the evidence says:** PSA warns cert numbers can be copied, so the physical slab, seller, and photos still need review. ## FAQ ### How much did PSA 9 Human Chess Game #11/116 sell for recently?
