How the EV is Calculated
EV per booster pack = $1.84
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$1.84 × 1 packs = $1.84
This product contains 1 booster pack.
$1.84 ÷ $7.88 = 23.4% return
Sealed price is the average TCGPlayer market price. Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
Cash-Out EV: $1.18 — applies a 0.64x multiplier to account for TCGPlayer/eBay fees (~13%), shipping, and the gap between market price and actual sale price.
