Every card’s chance of turning up, from the rates above, times its ungraded price today, added across the pack. On average a pack gives back 40% of what it costs; most of an average pack’s value sits in the few rare pulls, so most packs are worth less and a few far more: of 20,000 simulated packs the typical (median) one held $2.88, and 9.1% were worth $26.56 or more. An average box of 36 holds $381.96. Ordinary reverse holos are counted at the card’s ordinary price. All figures are in US dollars. No shop price is on file for this set, so the price is the cheapest single sealed pack on the sealed market when we last read it, Oct 26, 2026, or a booster box or bundle split across its packs.
