Why we'd keep it sealed

The cards inside are worth €67 after selling costs. The box costs €203.

On average you lose €137 per box. Buying the singles you want is cheaper.

Some pull rates are estimates, so the real value is likely between €63 and €75.

If you opened 100 boxes

  • 0 make money
  • 100 lose money

A typical box is worth €62. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €110 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €29 or less.

The math, per box

From the price of every card to what you'd actually keep.
