Keep it sealed€85 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 keep it sealed
The cards inside are worth €85 after selling costs. The box costs €123.
On average you lose €37 per box. Buying the singles you want is cheaper.
Some pull rates are estimates, so the real value is likely between €81 and €94.
If you opened 100 boxes
- 8 make money
- 92 lose money
A typical box is worth €82. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €118 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €57 or less.
