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.
Compare grading math across cards · 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 Pomona Sprout
Professor Pomona Sprout is a 2002 Chamber of Secrets character card numbered 45/140 in the Wizards of the Coast Harry Potter TCG. Collectors search for it because the same character card exists as a regular rare and a holo portrait premium, with recent raw sales showing large condition and finish separation.
Why this card matters
Verified factProfessor Pomona Sprout is a named professor character in Chamber of Secrets. Pojo's checklist lists card 45 as both Holo Portrait Premium and Rare, and Card Game Collector identifies it as a Character - Witch - Hufflepuff - Unique entry. That makes this card sensitive to both character collecting and set-completion collecting. The key research task is not simply finding 'Sprout' sales, but separating regular rare, holo portrait premium, raw condition, and any graded copies. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factUse the title Professor Pomona Sprout, the Chamber of Secrets set, English language, and 45/140 number. Then identify whether the card is the regular rare or the Holo Portrait Premium. The documented eBay sales show the problem clearly: one page sold a non-holo-looking listing for $14.95, while another sold a listing described as Foil Holo for $250.00. Those are not interchangeable comps. [3][4]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisThe strongest observed spread in this pass is finish and seller-described condition. A raw near-mint-or-better Professor Pomona Sprout listing sold for $14.95 on August 19, 2026, while a raw excellent foil holo listing sold for $250.00 on August 8, 2026. These two data points should not be averaged into a single value. Future research should add more recent opened sales, especially graded examples and exact holo portrait condition categories. [3][4]
Authenticity checks
AnalysisCompare the card against correct Chamber of Secrets references, checking title, 45/140 number, character classification, set identity, back design, and whether the surface is the ordinary rare or Holo Portrait Premium. Use multiple checks and avoid destructive tests. For slabs, confirm the certification details and compare the physical holder and card to the seller photos, but remember that copied cert numbers exist, so the cert page alone is not conclusive. [5]
Telling the versions apart
| Version | How to identify it |
|---|---|
| Unlimited non-holo rare | English Chamber of Secrets card numbered 45/140 with ordinary rare treatment and no holo portrait surface. |
| Unlimited holo portrait premium | English Chamber of Secrets card numbered 45/140 with Holo Portrait Premium treatment; keep separate from the non-holo rare. |
