How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $3.01
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 4 rarity tiers. Based on 615 pack openings.
$3.01 × 4 packs = $12.04
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$12.04 + $10.94 promos = $22.98
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$22.98 × 0.64 = $14.71
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $22.98 ÷ $41.67 = 55.1% • Cash-out: $14.71 ÷ $41.67 = 35.3%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

- ●Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to market EV (TCGPlayer fees ~15% + shipping + bulk discount/slippage).
