Is this box worth ripping?

Pick a Pokémon set and see the estimated value of the singles a sealed booster box produces, priced in EUR from live Cardmarket data, against the price you'd actually pay. With a per-rarity breakdown, expected pulls, and your odds on the chase cards.

Pokémon set

We estimate the value of the singles a box produces from live Cardmarket trend prices and a disclosed pull-rate model. The box price is your input, we never fetch sealed-product prices. This is an estimate of the average outcome, not a guarantee for any single box.

How box EV works

A booster box's “expected value” is what the cards inside are worth on average. We take every card in the set, average the Cardmarket trend price within each rarity, then apply how often each rarity shows up per pack. Sum that across all 36 packs and you get the estimated value of the singles a box produces.

Two honesty notes that matter. First, pull rates aren't officially published by Pokémon, every EV tool uses community-aggregated samples, and so do we, clearly labelled. Second, EV is an average: roughly 70% of boxes land near it, ~15% run hot and ~15% run cold. A single box is a gamble; EV just tells you the long-run mean.

We never fetch sealed-box market prices, the box price is your input, so the comparison stays honest and TOS-clean. Check single-card values with Foilio's free search, or decide whether to grade a hit with the grading ROI calculator.

Questions, answered

How is booster-box EV calculated?+

We average the Cardmarket EUR trend price of every card within each rarity, apply a disclosed community pull-rate model per pack, and sum across all 36 packs. It's the estimated value of the singles a box produces, an average across thousands of boxes, not a guarantee for one.

Is opening a booster box worth it?+

Only if you pay under the box's break-even price (the singles EV). Most modern boxes sit slightly negative-EV at retail, the value is the gamble and the chase cards. The RIP / TOSS-UP / DON'T-RIP verdict compares the singles EV to the price you enter.

Why don't you show the box's market price?+

We never fetch sealed-product or sold prices, that keeps the tool TOS-clean and honest. You enter the box price you'd pay and we compare it to the singles EV. Tap the Cardmarket/eBay link to see what boxes are actually selling for.

Are the pull rates official?+

No, Pokémon doesn't publish odds. Every EV tool uses community-aggregated samples; ours is disclosed and versioned, and every figure is labelled a reference estimate.
