How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $2.98
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 3 rarity tiers. Based on 630 pack openings.
$2.98 × 8 packs = $23.84
This product contains 8 booster packs.
$23.84 + $1.00 promos = $24.84
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$24.84 × 0.64 = $15.90
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $24.84 ÷ $141.77 = 17.5% • Cash-out: $15.90 ÷ $141.77 = 11.2%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
