How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $3.55
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$3.55 × 36 packs = $127.80
This product contains 36 booster packs.
$127.80 = $127.80
No promo value applied for this product.
$127.80 × 0.64 = $81.79
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $127.80 ÷ $332.86 = 38.4% • Cash-out: $81.79 ÷ $332.86 = 24.6%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
