Why we'd keep it sealed

The cards inside are worth €33 after selling costs. The box costs €95.

On average you lose €62 per box. Buying the singles you want is cheaper.

Pull rates are still uncertain. The real value could be anywhere from €22 to €48.

If you opened 100 boxes

  • 9 make money
  • 91 lose money

A typical box is worth €14. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €90 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €8 or less.

The math, per box

From the price of every card to what you'd actually keep.

How we work this out
