How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $3.68
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 5,000 pack openings.
$3.68 × 3 packs = $11.04
This product contains 3 booster packs.
$11.04 + $0.50 promos = $11.54
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$11.54 × 0.64 = $7.39
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $11.54 ÷ $30.67 = 37.6% • Cash-out: $7.39 ÷ $30.67 = 24.1%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
