How the EV is Calculated
EV per booster pack = $2.06
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 5,000 pack openings.
$2.06 × 36 packs = $74.16
This product contains 36 booster packs.
$74.16 ÷ $262.86 = 28.2% return
Sealed price is the average TCGPlayer market price. Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
Cash-Out EV: $47.46 — applies a 0.64x multiplier to account for TCGPlayer/eBay fees (~13%), shipping, and the gap between market price and actual sale price.
