How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $1.55
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$1.55 × 4 packs = $6.20
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$6.20 + $7.52 promos = $13.72
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$13.72 × 0.64 = $8.78
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $13.72 ÷ $29.90 = 45.9% • Cash-out: $8.78 ÷ $29.90 = 29.4%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
