Why we'd keep it sealed

The cards inside are worth €26 after selling costs. The box costs €4,400.

On average you lose €4,374 per box. Buying the singles you want is cheaper.

Pull rates are still uncertain. The real value could be anywhere from €18 to €43.

If you opened 100 boxes

  • 0 make money
  • 100 lose money

A typical box is worth €24. 1 in 10 boxes is worth €45 or more, and 1 in 10 is worth €10 or less.

The math, per box

From the price of every card to what you'd actually keep.
