Rip it$826 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 we'd rip it
The cards inside are worth $826 after selling costs. The box costs $450.
Most boxes come out ahead: only 28 of 100 boxes lose money.
Pull rates are still uncertain. The real value could be anywhere from $524 to $2,062. That's enough to change the verdict.

How we work this out
We price every card at its TCGplayer market value, take off the selling costs above, and open 100,000 virtual boxes slot by slot using the pull rates in the table. The verdict compares the cards with the box price and checks how often a box loses money.
