Why we'd keep it sealed
The cards inside are worth €123 after selling costs. The box costs €332.
On average you lose €208 per box. Buying the singles you want is cheaper.
Some pull rates are estimates, so the real value is likely between €113 and €139.
If you opened 100 boxes
- 4 make money

A typical box is worth €93. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €251 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €32 or less.
