How the EV is Calculated
EV per booster pack = $2.65
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 3 rarity tiers. Based on 1,004 pack openings.
$2.65 × 8 packs = $21.20
This product contains 8 booster packs.
$21.20 + $1.00 promos = $22.20
Promo card value is based on live TCGPlayer prices.
$22.20 ÷ $127.97 = 17.4% return
Sealed price is the average TCGPlayer market price. Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
