How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $3.75
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 5,000 pack openings.
$3.75 × 1 packs = $3.75
This product contains 1 booster pack.
$3.75 + $0.25 promos = $4.00
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$4.00 × 0.64 = $2.56
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $4.00 ÷ $9.88 = 40.5% • Cash-out: $2.56 ÷ $9.88 = 25.9%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
