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 Professor Severus Snape
Professor Severus Snape 16/116 is an English Holo Portrait Premium character card from the 2001 Wizards of the Coast Harry Potter TCG Base Set. Collectors search for it because Snape is a central character and the base-set holo portraits are the premium character cards in the first WotC Harry Potter TCG release.
Why this card matters
Verified factProfessor Severus Snape sits in the first 20 premium cards of the 116-card Base Set checklist, where the character cards use the Holo Portrait Premium treatment rather than a regular non-holo finish. The checklist identifies Snape as card 16, a Character with the Slytherin subtype, and credits Scott M. Fischer as artist. Its collector interest comes from exact set placement, character recognition, and premium finish, not from any established print-run number. [1]
Identifying the exact version
AnalysisUse the card name, number 16/116, English text, Base Set context, and holo-portrait finish before comparing prices. Do not merge this card with other Snape cards from Quidditch Cup, Diagon Alley, Adventures at Hogwarts, Chamber of Secrets, Artbox, Kayou, Kakawow, or Chocolate Frog issues. The seed edition labels were not verified in the opened checklist sources, so a listing claiming 1st Edition or Unlimited needs its own clear front/back evidence before it is treated as a separate variant. [1][2]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisFor this card, the first separation is raw versus graded, then grader and grade, then stated raw condition. A raw NM/LP eBay sold page displayed $39.99 on 2026-08-20, while no opened PSA sale page for this exact Snape card was adopted in this pass. PSA’s grading standard shows why grade labels should not be inferred from photos alone: centering, corners, surface, gloss, staining, alteration, and eye appeal can all affect the final grade. [3][5]
Authenticity checks
Verified factCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For this WotC issue, confirm the exact name, 16/116 number, English text, card back, font, border, finish, and card size against trusted references or a known authentic copy. For slabs, verify the cert but also inspect holder, label, card image, and seller photos, because PSA warns that a certification lookup does not by itself eliminate counterfeit-label risk. [4][5]
