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 × 1 packs = $1.96
This product contains 1 booster pack.
$1.96 + $0.25 promos = $2.21
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$2.21 × 0.64 = $1.41
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $2.21 ÷ $9.82 = 22.5% • Cash-out: $1.41 ÷ $9.82 = 14.3%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
