How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $1.71
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$1.71 × 4 packs = $6.84
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$6.84 + $8.38 promos = $15.22
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$15.22 × 0.64 = $9.74
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $15.22 ÷ $32.55 = 46.8% • Cash-out: $9.74 ÷ $32.55 = 29.9%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
