How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $6.94
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 2,000 pack openings.
$6.94 × 9 packs = $62.46
This product contains 9 booster packs.
$62.46 + $8.70 promos = $71.16
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$71.16 × 0.64 = $45.54
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $71.16 ÷ $149.97 = 47.5% • Cash-out: $45.54 ÷ $149.97 = 30.4%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

Your results will vary.

- ●Sealed price ($149.97) is the average TCGPlayer market price across all variants of this product.
- ●Promo value ($8.70) is based on live TCGPlayer prices.
- ●Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to market EV (TCGPlayer fees ~15% + shipping + bulk discount/slippage).
