How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $2.71
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 3 rarity tiers. Based on 630 pack openings.
$2.71 × 4 packs = $10.84
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$10.84 + $6.96 promos = $17.80
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$17.80 × 0.64 = $11.39
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $17.80 ÷ $50.20 = 35.5% • Cash-out: $11.39 ÷ $50.20 = 22.7%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
