How the EV is Calculated
EV per booster pack = $0.94
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 3 rarity tiers. Based on 630 pack openings.
$0.94 × 8 packs = $7.52
This product contains 8 booster packs.
$7.52 + $1.00 promos = $8.52
Promo card value is based on live TCGPlayer prices.
$8.52 ÷ $93.75 = 9.1% return
Sealed price is the average TCGPlayer market price. Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
