How the EV is Calculated

Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.

01

EV per booster pack = $4.08

Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 700 pack openings.

02

$4.08 × 4 packs = $16.32

This product contains 4 booster packs.

03

$16.32 + $1.00 promos = $17.32

Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.

04

$17.32 × 0.64 = $11.08

Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.

05

Market: $17.32 ÷ $57.32 = 30.2%Cash-out: $11.08 ÷ $57.32 = 19.3%

Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

  • Card prices are TCGPlayer market prices via TCGCSV, updated daily. Actual selling prices may differ.
  • Pull rates are community-sourced from 700 pack openings (https://www.tcgplayer.com/content/article/Pokemon-TCG-Black-Bolt-and-White-Flare-Pull-Rates/bac92199-a2a7-4668-b4a4-2647a111776f/, https://gamerant.com/pokemon-tcg-black-bolt-white-flare-pull-rates-odds/, https://pokepatch.com/2025/07/20/black-bolt-white-flare-pull-rates-in-pokemon-tcg-sets/). Your results will vary.
  • MSRP is $29.99. Current sealed price ($57.32) may be above or below retail depending on supply and demand.
  • Sealed price ($57.32) is the average TCGPlayer market price across all variants of this product.
  • Promo value ($1.00) 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.
