How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $5.47
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 4 rarity tiers. Based on 718 pack openings.
$5.47 × 1 packs = $5.47
This product contains 1 booster pack.
$5.47 = $5.47
No promo value applied for this product.
$5.47 × 0.64 = $3.50
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $5.47 ÷ $13.42 = 40.8% • Cash-out: $3.50 ÷ $13.42 = 26.1%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
