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 × 9 packs = $20.16
This product contains 9 booster packs.
$20.16 + $2.20 promos = $22.36
Promo value uses live TCGPlayer prices for included promo cards.
$22.36 × 0.64 = $14.31
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $22.36 ÷ $93.44 = 23.9% • Cash-out: $14.31 ÷ $93.44 = 15.3%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
