## How to identify each version

- **English standard normal uncommon**: English text, Quidditch Cup trophy expansion symbol, collector number 49/80, normal finish.
- **Sorcerer's Stone movie release promo normal uncommon**: PROMO version with 49/80 numbering, Sorcerer's Stone Movie Release attribution, normal finish, and no Quidditch Cup set symbol on the front.

**Identity note:** The seed called the movie promo holofoil. The opened promo database lists the promo printing as Normal finish, so this record does not label it holofoil.

## Why this card matters

Strategy Session is a Quidditch uncommon from the 2001 Quidditch Cup set, illustrated by Michael Koelsch. Its research problem is more complicated than most uncommons because an opened promo reference also identifies a Sorcerer's Stone Movie Release promo version with PROMO 49/80 numbering. That means the name and number alone are not enough. A buyer or database entry must separate the standard Quidditch Cup printing from the movie-release promo printing before any sale is recorded.

## Identifying the exact version

For the standard set version, look for the Quidditch Cup trophy expansion symbol, English text and number 49/80. For the movie-release promo, the opened promo page identifies it as PROMO 49/80 tied to the Sorcerer's Stone Movie Release in November 2001. The promo source lists the finish as Normal, not holofoil. Because PSA labels abbreviate the promo variety, match the slab label to the physical card image and the promo page rather than relying only on the card name.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

The opened sales evidence is for PSA-graded movie promo copies, mainly PSA 10 and PSA 9. Those results should not be transferred to the standard Quidditch Cup uncommon, even though the name and 49/80 number match. Grade and sale type also matter: the opened PSA page shows both auctions and fixed-price sales, so each record should keep the venue, sale type, grade, cert and exact promo variant together. The standard normal uncommon remains unpriced in this pass.

## Authenticity checks

Compare against both the Quidditch Cup card page and the promo card page. Confirm title, 49/80 numbering, art, text, artist and whether the card has the Quidditch Cup symbol or the PROMO presentation. For slabs, check that PSA's subject, card number, grade and variety match the exact version being sold. Use multiple checks, including front and back images, holder appearance, label consistency and surface condition. Do not use destructive tests, and remember that copied cert numbers can appear in fake listings.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** The promo is just the same as the Quidditch Cup uncommon. **What the evidence says:** The exact-identity rule requires separate variants when release, symbol or promo markings differ.
- **Myth:** The movie promo is confirmed holofoil. **What the evidence says:** The opened promo database lists the movie-release Strategy Session printing as Normal finish, so holofoil should not be recorded without another source.
- **Myth:** A PSA 10 promo sale prices the standard set uncommon. **What the evidence says:** The comps procedure separates variants, graders and grades; promo sales do not automatically transfer to standard set copies.
