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 × 10 packs = $89.90
This product contains 10 booster packs.
$89.90 + $2.00 promos = $91.90
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$91.90 × 0.64 = $58.82
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $91.90 ÷ $1210.82 = 7.6% • Cash-out: $58.82 ÷ $1210.82 = 4.9%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

- ●MSRP is $49.99. Current sealed price ($1210.82) may be above or below retail depending on supply and demand.
- ●Sealed price ($1210.82) is the average TCGPlayer market price across all variants of this product.
- ●Promo value ($2.00) is based on live TCGPlayer prices.
- ●Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to market EV (TCGPlayer fees ~15% + shipping + bulk discount/slippage).
- ●EV is an average. Any single opening can be much higher or lower. High-value chase cards are rare — most packs return bulk.
