Pull rates & pack structure used for EV

The pack-structure numbers above are editable assumptions. TCGplayer describes modern packs as having three foil cards: a rare plus reverse-holo slots. Check the wrapper of the product you're opening.

How it works

Opening value = EV per pack × number of packs × the share you can realistically sell, minus fees and shipping. Sealed value = sealed price minus fees. Our data source doesn't include sealed product prices, so enter the current sealed price yourself from recent sold listings. Bulk is hard to sell, so lower "% of value you can realistically sell" if you want a conservative estimate. See sealed and EV.
