Keep it sealed€22 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 €22 after selling costs. The box costs €54.
On average you lose €31 per box. Buying the singles you want is cheaper.
Pull rates are still uncertain. The real value could be anywhere from €17 to €39.
If you opened 100 boxes
- 5 make money
- 95 lose money
A typical box is worth €15. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €34 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €7 or less.
The math, per box
From the price of every card to what you'd actually keep.
