Toss-up€636 of cards inside, after selling costs
Estimated contents: nobody has published measured pull rates for this box yet, so we use those of boxes with the same pack layout. Treat the numbers as a rough guide.
Why it's a toss-up
The cards inside are worth €636 after selling costs. The box costs €627.
Too close to call, and 49 of 100 boxes lose money.
Pull rates are still uncertain. The real value could be anywhere from €529 to €879. That's enough to change the verdict.
If you opened 100 boxes
- 51 make money
- 49 lose money
A typical box is worth €629. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €801 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €481 or less.

How we work this out
