How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $3.05
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 4 rarity tiers. Based on 371 pack openings.
$3.05 × 1 packs = $3.05
This product contains 1 booster pack.
$3.05 = $3.05
No promo value applied for this product.
$3.05 × 0.64 = $1.95
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $3.05 ÷ $9.76 = 31.3% • Cash-out: $1.95 ÷ $9.76 = 20.0%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
