How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $9.17
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 3 rarity tiers. Based on 630 pack openings.
$9.17 × 36 packs = $330.12
This product contains 36 booster packs.
$330.12 = $330.12
No promo value applied for this product.
$330.12 × 0.64 = $211.28
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $330.12 ÷ $2599.83 = 12.7% • Cash-out: $211.28 ÷ $2599.83 = 8.1%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
