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 Through the Trapdoor
Through the Trapdoor is a 2002 Harry Potter TCG card numbered 48/80 with both a regular Adventures at Hogwarts version and a promo-stamped Toys R Us pre-order version. Collectors search for it because the promo-stamped card has documented high-value sales while the regular version is a different low-value uncommon.
Why this card matters
Verified factThrough the Trapdoor is one of the clearest Harry Potter TCG examples of variant separation. Heritage states that the regular version appeared in Adventures at Hogwarts, while the promo was a Toys R Us pre-order exclusive for the first film's DVD and has a gold foil promo stamp at the bottom right. Vault 713 records the promo as a May 2002 Sorcerer's Stone Toys R Us Pre-Order Promo. Those details define the collectible object more than the name alone. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factStart with title, 48/80 number, English language, and Adventures at Hogwarts connection. Then check for the promo stamp. The standard Adventures at Hogwarts uncommon lacks the gold promo stamp and can sell like a low-priced set card. The promo-stamped Toys R Us version is a separate variant. A listing title that says 'Through the Trapdoor 48/80' is incomplete unless photos or description establish whether the promo stamp is present. [1][3][4]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisThe documented evidence shows a large version and grade split. A raw Near Mint promo-stamped copy sold through Heritage for $425.00 on June 10, 2026, while PSA's cert page reports a similar PSA 9 eBay auction sale at $1,055.00 on June 28, 2026. By contrast, opened pages for standard Adventures at Hogwarts copies show sub-dollar or low retail listings. These should remain separate records, not a single blended market. [1][5][6]
Authenticity checks
AnalysisCompare against the correct version and confirm the title, 48/80 number, Adventures at Hogwarts identity, back design, and whether the gold foil promo stamp appears at the bottom right. Use multiple checks and avoid destructive tests. For the PSA 9 sale, verify the cert and compare label details, but remember that copied cert numbers exist. For raw promo copies, request sharp front, back, corner, and angled stamp photos. [5][7]
Telling the versions apart
| Version | How to identify it |
|---|---|
| Adventures at Hogwarts standard uncommon | English Adventures at Hogwarts card numbered 48/80 without the gold promo stamp. |
| Toys R Us pre-order promo-stamped version | English Through the Trapdoor 48/80 with gold foil promo stamp at the bottom right, tied to the Sorcerer's Stone DVD Toys R Us pre-order promotion. |
