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 × 9 packs = $31.95
This product contains 9 booster packs.
$31.95 + $2.99 promos = $34.94
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$34.94 × 0.64 = $22.36
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $34.94 ÷ $126.62 = 27.6% • Cash-out: $22.36 ÷ $126.62 = 17.7%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

Expand assumptions
- ●Card prices are TCGPlayer market prices via TCGCSV, updated daily. Actual selling prices may differ.
- ●Pull rates are community-sourced from 8,000 pack openings (https://infinite.tcgplayer.com/article/Pokemon-TCG-Temporal-Forces-Pull-Rates/28c0ad22-00a4-428f-b22d-e7fee9ec50bc/, https://www.digitaltq.com/temporal-forces-pull-rates-pokemon-tcg, https://www.pokebeach.com/2024/03/temporal-forces-has-hardest-pull-rates-of-scarlet-violet-sets-for-highest-rarities). Your results will vary.
- ●MSRP is $49.99. Current sealed price ($126.62) may be above or below retail depending on supply and demand.
- ●Sealed price ($126.62) is the average TCGPlayer market price across all variants of this product.
- ●Promo value ($2.99) 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.
