How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $2.83
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 6 rarity tiers. Based on 8,000 pack openings.
$2.83 × 4 packs = $11.32
This product contains 4 booster packs.
$11.32 + $4.29 promos = $15.61
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$15.61 × 0.64 = $9.99
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $15.61 ÷ $41.01 = 38.1% • Cash-out: $9.99 ÷ $41.01 = 24.4%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.

- ●Sealed price ($41.01) is the average TCGPlayer market price across all variants of this product.
- ●Promo value ($4.29) is based on live TCGPlayer prices.
- ●Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to market EV (TCGPlayer fees ~15% + shipping + bulk discount/slippage).
- ●EV is an average. Any single opening can be much higher or lower. High-value chase cards are rare — most packs return bulk.
