How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $1.77
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 4 rarity tiers. Based on 630 pack openings.
$1.77 × 8 packs = $14.16
This product contains 8 booster packs.
$14.16 + $1.00 promos = $15.16
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$15.16 × 0.64 = $9.70
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $15.16 ÷ $120.67 = 12.6% • Cash-out: $9.70 ÷ $120.67 = 8.0%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
