Frequently asked questions

What is pack EV?

EV (expected value) is the average market value of the cards in one pack, worked out from how often each rarity shows up and what those cards sell for. Any single pack can be worth far more or far less.

Is Delta Reign worth opening?

With prices from 2026-11-05, an average Delta Reign pack is worth about $6.91 in cards, including about $0.30 of bulk. Compare that with what you pay per pack in the calculator: if the sealed product sells for more than its EV, keeping it sealed is the better bet on average.

Where do the pull rates come from?

From the TCGplayer Authentication Center, which opens thousands of packs per set and publishes how often each rarity appears. Brand-new sets use the average of recent sets from the same era until their own study is out.

Why is bulk only $0.30 a pack?

Commons, uncommons and most reverse holos are hard to sell one by one. Buylists and bulk lots usually pay a few cents per card, so the calculator counts them low. You can change it.

Does EV include selling fees?

The main number is market value. The line below it shows what you would keep after about 13.25% in eBay fees, before shipping.
