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 × 4 packs = $14.20
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$14.20 + $5.06 promos = $19.26
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$19.26 × 0.64 = $12.33
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $19.26 ÷ $40.89 = 47.1% • Cash-out: $12.33 ÷ $40.89 = 30.1%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

Your results will vary.
- ●MSRP is $21.99. Current sealed price ($40.89) may be above or below retail depending on supply and demand.
- ●Sealed price ($40.89) is the average TCGPlayer market price across all variants of this product.
- ●Promo value ($5.06) is based on live TCGPlayer prices.
- ●Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to market EV (TCGPlayer fees ~15% + shipping + bulk discount/slippage).
- ●EV is an average. Any single opening can be much higher or lower. High-value chase cards are rare — most packs return bulk.
