How is this calculated?
TCGplayer opened thousands of packs of each set and counted how often every kind of rare turned up. We multiply each of those odds by the average price of that rarity today and add them up: that's what the rare cards in one pack are worth on average. A booster box is 36 packs.
- Per pack / per box
- The average value of the hits you'd pull, at today's prices.
- Packs with a hit
- How often a pack has at least one of the tracked rares.
- Top chase
- The chance a box contains the set's most valuable card.
Commons, uncommons and regular rares aren't counted, every card of a rarity is treated as equally likely, and real boxes vary a lot. It's an average, not a promise. If a sealed box costs more than its box value, you're paying for the fun of opening it.
