How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $1.94
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$1.94 × 4 packs = $7.76
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$7.76 + $9.73 promos = $17.49
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$17.49 × 0.64 = $11.19
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $17.49 ÷ $38.28 = 45.7% • Cash-out: $11.19 ÷ $38.28 = 29.2%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
