Keep it sealed€98 of cards inside, after selling costs
Why we'd keep it sealed
The cards inside are worth €98 after selling costs. The box costs €155.
On average you lose €57 per box. Buying the singles you want is cheaper.
Some pull rates are estimates, so the real value is likely between €91 and €112.
If you opened 100 boxes
- 4 make money
- 96 lose money
A typical box is worth €96. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €138 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €62 or less.
The math, per box
From the price of every card to what you'd actually keep.

How we work this out
