How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $2.77
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 3 rarity tiers. Based on 630 pack openings.
$2.77 × 4 packs = $11.08
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$11.08 + $6.98 promos = $18.06
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$18.06 × 0.64 = $11.56
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $18.06 ÷ $49.41 = 36.5% • Cash-out: $11.56 ÷ $49.41 = 23.4%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

- ●MSRP is $21.99. Current sealed price ($49.41) may be above or below retail depending on supply and demand.
