01 / Rip Advisor
Is Baseball Diamond Pack worth it right now?
- The numbers here look good, but the sample is too thin to call it a buy. Needs 19 more indexed pulls for a reliable signal.
- Early read: only 11 pulls indexed — this is a lean, not a settled verdict. The numbers can swing hard until the sample reaches 30.
- Cash-out EV is $1,281 on a $1,000 pack (28.1% net after the ~85% buyback) — the average rip beats the price.
- Cash-out EV is $1,280.89 against a $1,000.00 price, but the sample is not precise enough to call that a real edge — the 95% range is $927.86 to $1,633.92, which still includes the price. It leans positive; it is not established.
- The typical pull (median) is $927 — most rips return less than the pack price; the EV is carried by rare chase cards.
- What recent pulls return has been stable over the last 7 days.
- Low volatility: steady pack. Fewer duds, but also fewer moonshots.
- Calibrated EV (recent pulls weighted) is $1,514 vs $1,081 lifetime — the pool has improved recently.
- 45.5% of pulls meet or beat the pack price, across 11 indexed pulls.
Verdict is computed transparently from indexed pulls: cash-out ROI, median pull, 7-day trend, hit rate, and sample size. Redemption shipping (typically $16+) is not included — cards worth less than a few times the shipping cost are usually better instant-sold than shipped. Not financial advice.

Not observable: packs remaining, value remaining, and which chases are still in the pool — Courtyard publishes a pull feed, not inventory. We label those unavailable rather than estimate them. Everything above is computed from indexed pulls and EV snapshots; thin or stale data pulls the score toward neutral. Formula

Aged, not predicted. Half-life counts how fast new evidence arrives, measured from real pull timestamps — it is not a forecast of where EV is heading. We publish no EV-drift half-life because our snapshot history is still too short for a regression to mean anything. The seeded placeholder points this note used to warn about have been flagged in the database and excluded from every chart, trend and score, so what you see plotted is observed data. Note the headline EV is decay-weighted, so it reacts to new pulls sooner than this whole-sample horizon implies. Methodology
