How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $2.72
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$2.72 × 1 packs = $2.72
This product contains 1 booster pack.
$2.72 = $2.72
No promo value applied for this product.
$2.72 × 0.64 = $1.74
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $2.72 ÷ $8.06 = 33.8% • Cash-out: $1.74 ÷ $8.06 = 21.6%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
