How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $1.96
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$1.96 × 36 packs = $70.56
This product contains 36 booster packs.
$70.56 = $70.56
No promo value applied for this product.
$70.56 × 0.64 = $45.16
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $70.56 ÷ $283.46 = 24.9% • Cash-out: $45.16 ÷ $283.46 = 15.9%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
