How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $6.53
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 7 rarity tiers. Based on 1,500 pack openings.
$6.53 × 3 packs = $19.59
This product contains 3 booster packs.
$19.59 + $0.75 promos = $20.34
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$20.34 × 0.64 = $13.02
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $20.34 ÷ $57.95 = 35.1% • Cash-out: $13.02 ÷ $57.95 = 22.5%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
