Toss-up$279 of cards inside, after selling costs
Estimated contents: nobody has published measured pull rates for this box yet, so we use those of boxes with the same pack layout. Treat the numbers as a rough guide.
Why it's a toss-up
The cards inside are worth $279 after selling costs. The box costs $172.
But 65 of 100 boxes lose money. A few big pulls carry the average.
Pull rates are still uncertain. The real value could be anywhere from $142 to $726. That's enough to change the verdict.
