How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $4.60
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 700 pack openings.
$4.60 × 6 packs = $27.60
This product contains 6 booster packs.
$27.60 = $27.60
No promo value applied for this product.
$27.60 × 0.64 = $17.66
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $27.60 ÷ $64.40 = 42.9% • Cash-out: $17.66 ÷ $64.40 = 27.4%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
