How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $3.09
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$3.09 × 36 packs = $111.24
This product contains 36 booster packs.
$111.24 = $111.24
No promo value applied for this product.
$111.24 × 0.64 = $71.19
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $111.24 ÷ $438.58 = 25.4% • Cash-out: $71.19 ÷ $438.58 = 16.2%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
