How the EV is Calculated
EV per booster pack = $3.99
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 700 pack openings.
$3.99 × 9 packs = $35.91
This product contains 9 booster packs.
$35.91 + $1.00 promos = $36.91
Promo card value is based on live TCGPlayer prices.
$36.91 ÷ $91.51 = 40.3% return
Sealed price is the average TCGPlayer market price. Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
