How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $3.80
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$3.80 × 4 packs = $15.20
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$15.20 + $2.91 promos = $18.11
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$18.11 × 0.64 = $11.59
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $18.11 ÷ $54.88 = 33.0% • Cash-out: $11.59 ÷ $54.88 = 21.1%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
