How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $1.18
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 3 rarity tiers. Based on 541 pack openings.
$1.18 × 4 packs = $4.72
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$4.72 + $2.00 promos = $6.72
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$6.72 × 0.64 = $4.30
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $6.72 ÷ $140.33 = 4.8% • Cash-out: $4.30 ÷ $140.33 = 3.1%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
