How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $2.78
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$2.78 × 36 packs = $100.08
This product contains 36 booster packs.
$100.08 = $100.08
No promo value applied for this product.
$100.08 × 0.64 = $64.05
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $100.08 ÷ $302.46 = 33.1% • Cash-out: $64.05 ÷ $302.46 = 21.2%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
