## How to identify each version

- **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.

**Identity note:** The opened checklist sources confirm both Rare and Holo Portrait Premium entries for card 45. No separate 1st Edition printing was confirmed from the opened sources.

## Why this card matters

Professor 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.

## Identifying the exact version

Use 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.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

The 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.

## Authenticity checks

Compare 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.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** The $250 foil sale means every Professor Pomona Sprout 45/140 is a $250 card. **What the evidence says:** The $250 sale was for a raw listing described as Foil Holo, while a separate raw non-holo-style listing sold for $14.95. Finish and condition must stay separate. This follows ch03.
- **Myth:** Raw near mint and raw excellent are the same condition bucket. **What the evidence says:** Marketplace condition words are not identical standards and should be recorded as the seller stated them, then checked against photos. This follows ch04 and ch06.
- **Myth:** A low number of visible sales means a print run is known to be tiny. **What the evidence says:** Thin sales evidence is not a print-run estimate, and graded population is not print run. This follows ch02 and ch10.
