How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $7.43
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 2,000 pack openings.
$7.43 × 9 packs = $66.87
This product contains 9 booster packs.
$66.87 + $9.53 promos = $76.40
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$76.40 × 0.64 = $48.90
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $76.40 ÷ $155.98 = 49.0% • Cash-out: $48.90 ÷ $155.98 = 31.4%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

Your results will vary.
- ●MSRP is $49.99. Current sealed price ($155.98) may be above or below retail depending on supply and demand.
- ●Sealed price ($155.98) is the average TCGPlayer market price across all variants of this product.
- ●Promo value ($9.53) 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.
