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 × 8 packs = $22.16
This product contains 8 booster packs.
$22.16 + $1.00 promos = $23.16
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$23.16 × 0.64 = $14.82
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $23.16 ÷ $123.67 = 18.7% • Cash-out: $14.82 ÷ $123.67 = 12.0%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

- ●MSRP is $49.99. Current sealed price ($123.67) may be above or below retail depending on supply and demand.
