Keep it sealed€111 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 €111 after selling costs. The box costs €1,600.
On average you lose €1,489 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 €109 and €116.
If you opened 100 boxes
- 0 make money
- 100 lose money
A typical box is worth €109. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €152 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €73 or less.

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.
