How the EV is Calculated
EV per booster pack = $1.71
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$1.71 × 4 packs = $6.84
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$6.84 + $1.00 promos = $7.84
Promo card value is based on live TCGPlayer prices.
$7.84 ÷ $52.33 = 15.0% return
Sealed price is the average TCGPlayer market price. Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
