How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $7.62
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 2,000 pack openings.
$7.62 × 3 packs = $22.86
This product contains 3 booster packs.
$22.86 + $2.00 promos = $24.86
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$24.86 × 0.64 = $15.91
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $24.86 ÷ $64.18 = 38.7% • Cash-out: $15.91 ÷ $64.18 = 24.8%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

- ●Promo value ($2.00) is based on live TCGPlayer prices.
- ●Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to market EV (TCGPlayer fees ~15% + shipping + bulk discount/slippage).
