Rip it€294 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 we'd rip it
The cards inside are worth €294 after selling costs. The box costs €209.
Most boxes come out ahead: only 20 of 100 boxes lose money.
Pull rates are still uncertain. The real value could be anywhere from €185 to €554. That's enough to change the verdict.
If you opened 100 boxes
- 80 make money
- 20 lose money
A typical box is worth €282. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €428 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €177 or less.
