How the EV is Calculated
EV per booster pack = $1.56
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$1.56 × 36 packs = $56.16
This product contains 36 booster packs.
$56.16 ÷ $252.38 = 22.3% return
Sealed price is the average TCGPlayer market price. Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
Cash-Out EV: $35.94 — applies a 0.64x multiplier to account for TCGPlayer/eBay fees (~13%), shipping, and the gap between market price and actual sale price.
