How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $2.08
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 4 rarity tiers. Based on 630 pack openings.
$2.08 × 8 packs = $16.64
This product contains 8 booster packs.
$16.64 + $1.00 promos = $17.64
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$17.64 × 0.64 = $11.29
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $17.64 ÷ $140.24 = 12.6% • Cash-out: $11.29 ÷ $140.24 = 8.1%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
