How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $4.27
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 4 rarity tiers. Based on 371 pack openings.
$4.27 × 1 packs = $4.27
This product contains 1 booster pack.
$4.27 = $4.27
No promo value applied for this product.
$4.27 × 0.64 = $2.73
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $4.27 ÷ $11.70 = 36.5% • Cash-out: $2.73 ÷ $11.70 = 23.3%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
