How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $3.63
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$3.63 × 36 packs = $130.68
This product contains 36 booster packs.
$130.68 = $130.68
No promo value applied for this product.
$130.68 × 0.64 = $83.64
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $130.68 ÷ $447.78 = 29.2% • Cash-out: $83.64 ÷ $447.78 = 18.7%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
