How the EV is Calculated
Step-by-step walkthrough of the pack EV, promo value, and cash-out assumptions.
EV per booster pack = $6.55
Sum of (average card value × pull rate) across all 7 rarity tiers. Based on 1,500 pack openings.
$6.55 × 6 packs = $39.30
This product contains 6 booster packs.
$39.30 = $39.30
No promo value applied for this product.
$39.30 × 0.64 = $25.15
Cash-out EV applies a 0.64 multiplier to account for marketplace fees, shipping, and bulk liquidity discount.
Market: $39.30 ÷ $166.76 = 23.6% • Cash-out: $25.15 ÷ $166.76 = 15.1%
Above 110% = Rip It, below 90% = Keep Sealed.
