How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $1.71
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 3 rarity tiers. Based on 630 pack openings.
$1.71 × 1 packs = $1.71
This product contains 1 booster pack.
$1.71 = $1.71
No promo value applied for this product.
$1.71 × 0.64 = $1.09
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $1.71 ÷ $12.98 = 13.2% • Cash-out: $1.09 ÷ $12.98 = 8.4%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
