How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $2.40
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$2.40 × 11 packs = $26.40
This product contains 11 booster packs.
$26.40 + $48.17 promos = $74.57
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$74.57 × 0.64 = $47.72
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $74.57 ÷ $186.50 = 40.0% • Cash-out: $47.72 ÷ $186.50 = 25.6%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
