How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $2.26
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 5,000 pack openings.
$2.26 × 36 packs = $81.36
This product contains 36 booster packs.
$81.36 = $81.36
No promo value applied for this product.
$81.36 × 0.64 = $52.07
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $81.36 ÷ $298.46 = 27.3% • Cash-out: $52.07 ÷ $298.46 = 17.4%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
