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 keep it sealed

The cards inside are worth €127 after selling costs. The box costs €438.

On average you lose €311 per box. Buying the singles you want is cheaper.

These pull rates are estimates, but the box's value hardly depends on them: it's likely between €122 and €137.

If you opened 100 boxes

  • 0 make money
  • 100 lose money

A typical box is worth €123. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €183 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €77 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.
