Keep it sealed€16 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 keep it sealed
The cards inside are worth €16 after selling costs. The box costs €48.
On average you lose €32 per box. Buying the singles you want is cheaper.
Pull rates are still uncertain. The real value could be anywhere from €11 to €27.
If you opened 100 boxes
- 6 make money
- 94 lose money
A typical box is worth €8. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €35 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €3 or less.
