How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $2.24
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$2.24 × 1 packs = $2.24
This product contains 1 booster pack.
$2.24 = $2.24
No promo value applied for this product.
$2.24 × 0.64 = $1.43
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $2.24 ÷ $7.75 = 28.9% • Cash-out: $1.43 ÷ $7.75 = 18.4%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
