How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $8.99
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 3 rarity tiers. Based on 630 pack openings.
$8.99 × 36 packs = $323.64
This product contains 36 booster packs.
$323.64 = $323.64
No promo value applied for this product.
$323.64 × 0.64 = $207.13
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $323.64 ÷ $2627.99 = 12.3% • Cash-out: $207.13 ÷ $2627.99 = 7.9%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
