## How to identify each version

- **English Holo Portrait Premium**: Card 13/116 with English text, Nearly Headless Nick name, Character type, Gryffindor subtype, and a holo-portrait premium finish.

**Identity note:** Seed listed 1st Edition holo and Unlimited holo variants, but the opened references verified only the English Holo Portrait Premium printing for this card.

## Why this card matters

Nearly Headless Nick appears in the premium-card section of the 2001 Base Set checklist as card 13, a Character card with Gryffindor subtype and Holo finish. The checklist credits Cindi Salans Rosenheim as artist. As with the other early WotC Harry Potter premium portraits, the card’s importance is tied to exact identity: character, set, number, language, finish, and condition must all match before a sale is usable.

## Identifying the exact version

The version modeled here is English Nearly Headless Nick 13/116, Holo Portrait Premium, from the WotC Base Set. Confirm the name, number, English text, and holo-portrait finish. Do not merge it with later Harry Potter products, non-English copies, or listings that put the same character into the wrong set. The seed edition split was not verified from opened references, so the adopted variant is the verified English Holo Portrait Premium version only.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

The opened comps show different buyer categories. A raw near-mint eBay sold page displayed $6.99 on 2026-07-14, while a PSA 8 eBay sold page displayed $44.95 on 2026-07-21. That difference should not be treated as a universal grading premium; it is two observed transactions. Future comps should separate raw condition, PSA grade, other graders, auction versus fixed price, and whether shipping was included.

## Authenticity checks

Compare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For Nearly Headless Nick, inspect card number 13/116, character name, English text, holo-portrait finish, border, back, and print quality. For slabs, match the cert and label to the physical card and seller images. PSA warns that cert verification does not guarantee the web-listed item is genuine, so seller evidence still matters.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** A near-mint raw sale proves what every raw copy is worth. **What the evidence says:** Raw condition terms vary by seller, and one sale is only one comp, not a full market range.
- **Myth:** A PSA 8 sale can be used for raw near-mint pricing. **What the evidence says:** Graded and raw cards are separate categories and should not be merged.
- **Myth:** No population number means no graded copies exist. **What the evidence says:** No adopted population number only means no source-stated as-of population was recorded here.
- **Myth:** A copied cert number is impossible if PSA's database loads. **What the evidence says:** PSA explicitly warns that actual certification numbers can be copied onto counterfeit inserts.
