Why we'd keep it sealed

The cards inside are worth €163 after selling costs. The box costs €550.

On average you lose €387 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 €160 and €170.

If you opened 100 boxes

  • 0 make money
  • 100 lose money

A typical box is worth €161. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €208 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €121 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.
