How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $1.96
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 5 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$1.96 × 4 packs = $7.84
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$7.84 + $3.32 promos = $11.16
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$11.16 × 0.64 = $7.14
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $11.16 ÷ $36.86 = 30.3% • Cash-out: $7.14 ÷ $36.86 = 19.4%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
