Keep it sealed€101 of cards inside, after selling costs
Why we'd keep it sealed
The cards inside are worth €101 after selling costs. The box costs €123.
On average you lose €22 per box. Buying the singles you want is cheaper.
Pull rates are still uncertain. The real value could be anywhere from €83 to €128. That's enough to change the verdict.
If you opened 100 boxes
- 26 make money
- 74 lose money
A typical box is worth €78. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €195 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €27 or less.
The math, per box
From the price of every card to what you'd actually keep.

How we work this out
We price every card at its Cardmarket 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.
