How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $1.78
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$1.78 × 4 packs = $7.12
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$7.12 + $8.53 promos = $15.65
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$15.65 × 0.64 = $10.02
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $15.65 ÷ $33.66 = 46.5% • Cash-out: $10.02 ÷ $33.66 = 29.8%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
