Why we'd keep it sealed

The cards inside are worth €181 after selling costs. The box costs €958.

On average you lose €778 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 €175 and €195.

If you opened 100 boxes

  • 0 make money

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.
