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 Golden Snitch
Golden Snitch is card 8/80 from the 2001 Quidditch Cup expansion of the Harry Potter TCG. Collectors search for it because the Golden Snitch is one of the franchise's most recognizable objects and the card has both normal and foil premium printings.
Why this card matters
Verified factGolden Snitch is an Item card from Quidditch Cup, the 2001 Harry Potter TCG expansion built around Quidditch play. The opened card reference identifies it as QC 8/80, a Quidditch Rare illustrated by Keith Garletts, with English normal rare and foil premium printings. The subject also matters for search behavior: even outside the TCG, the Golden Snitch is a central Harry Potter object, so marketplace searches can easily mix cards, toys and other collectibles unless the exact card number and set are used. [1]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factUse the card number and symbol before using the name. The correct set copy has the Quidditch Cup trophy expansion symbol and 8/80 numbering. The normal rare is non-foil, while the premium version has a foil finish. Do not merge this with other Golden Snitch collectibles, later Harry Potter card products, or foreign-language versions. PSA labels may describe the premium version as Quidditch Cup-Foil, which should be matched back to the physical finish and the card number. [1][2]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisThe opened sales were PSA 9 and PSA 8 foil premium examples surfaced through PSA cert pages. They do not establish the value of the English normal rare, other graders, or raw copies. Within the foil premium version, grade clearly matters because the opened records are separated by PSA 9 and PSA 8. Best Offer results also need to be recorded as the accepted price shown by the source, not as an asking price or estimate. [2][3]
Authenticity checks
AnalysisCompare the exact card against the opened reference: Golden Snitch, QC 8/80, Item type, Keith Garletts credit, Quidditch Cup symbol and the correct finish. Use multiple checks: front, back, corners, edges, surface, color, print clarity and whether the seller's photos show the actual card. For slabs, confirm that the cert page's subject, number, grade and variety match the listing, then inspect the label and holder. A copied certification number can still appear valid online, so do not rely on the cert lookup alone. [1][2][3][4]
Telling the versions apart
