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 × 8 packs = $21.68
This product contains 8 booster packs.
$21.68 + $1.00 promos = $22.68
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$22.68 × 0.64 = $14.52
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $22.68 ÷ $122.21 = 18.6% • Cash-out: $14.52 ÷ $122.21 = 11.9%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

- ●MSRP is $49.99. Current sealed price ($122.21) may be above or below retail depending on supply and demand.
