## How to identify each version

- **English standard normal rare**: English text, Quidditch Cup trophy expansion symbol, collector number 8/80, normal non-foil finish.
- **English standard foil premium**: English text, Quidditch Cup trophy expansion symbol, collector number 8/80, reflective foil premium finish.

**Identity note:** The opened sources confirm normal rare and foil premium English printings. They did not confirm a visible 1st Edition or Unlimited distinction, so the variants are modeled as English standard printings.

## Why this card matters

Golden 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.

## Identifying the exact version

Use 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.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

The 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.

## Authenticity checks

Compare 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.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** Every Golden Snitch card is the same collectible. **What the evidence says:** The knowledge base requires exact identity. This record is only for Harry Potter TCG Quidditch Cup 8/80, separated by finish and grade.
- **Myth:** A PSA population count proves how many copies exist. **What the evidence says:** Population is a grader count, not print run or surviving supply, and needs an as-of date before being stored.
- **Myth:** Best Offer list price is the sale price. **What the evidence says:** The pricing chapter uses sold comparables and records the accepted sold amount when the source shows it.
