Enter a grading cost to calculate.

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 Unicorn

Unicorn #20/116 is a Care of Magical Creatures Foil Premium creature card from the 2001 Wizards of the Coast Harry Potter TCG Base Set. Collectors search for it because it is one of the notable foil cards in the early WotC Harry Potter checklist and has sparse recent public sale evidence.

Why this card matters

Verified factVault 713 identifies Unicorn #20/116 as a Care of Magical Creatures Foil Premium and notes the Unicorn as a notable foil card in the Base Set. That makes the exact foil version important to preserve in the record. The card’s appeal is tied to early Harry Potter TCG collecting, creature-card nostalgia, and condition-sensitive foil surfaces rather than any established public print-run number. [1][2]

Identifying the exact version

Verified factThe target version is English Base Set Unicorn #20/116 with foil finish, Creature type, Unicorn subtype, and Zina Saunders artwork. PriceCharting separates a Unicorn [Foil] #20 page from a generic Unicorn #20 page, which is a useful warning that marketplace records can split or merge variants differently. Do not use Kayou, Artbox, Universal, or other Harry Potter Unicorn-themed items as comps. [2][3]

What moves the price between versions and grades

AnalysisThe opened sale evidence was sparse: PSA showed one PSA 6 eBay auction sale in August 2026, and PriceCharting showed two raw eBay-feed sales in September 2026. The raw entries displayed both accepted and listed amounts, so the lower price was recorded as the transaction price and the higher display was noted. Grade, foil condition, scratches, and surface dents are likely the largest comparison filters. [3][4]

Authenticity checks

Verified factCompare the card against the exact #20/116 foil reference, including the English text, card number, foil surface, Creature type, and back design. Use multiple checks together and avoid destructive tests. A slabbed copy should match the cert subject, number, grade, and visible card, but PSA cautions that certification lookup does not eliminate counterfeit risk because copied numbers can exist. [2][5][6]

Identity note: Seed identity is supported as #20/116 foil premium. No opened source established 1st Edition versus Unlimited card-level variants.
Why collectors look this card up: Base premium creature foil; PSA cert/search data shows graded copies and population tracked for #20. source 1source 2

What people get wrong about this card

The Unicorn foil has an established public print run.
No public print-run source was found in this pass; PSA population, when cited, is only a graded-copy count.
Raw Unicorn foil sales and PSA sales can be averaged together.
Ch03 requires raw and graded cards to be separated because grading changes the comparable object.
The highest displayed amount on an aggregated row is always the sale price.
The PriceCharting Unicorn rows displayed two amounts; the lower amount was recorded as the observed sale price and the higher display was noted rather than treated as a second sale.
The name Unicorn is enough for identity.
The evidence supports using set, number, finish, language, and publisher; names alone are insufficient across Harry Potter card products.
