$4,365.20 back on a $5,000 pack, at this pack's observed 85% buyback. At sticker FMV it is 1.032x.

95% range $3,359.10–$5,371.29 — that still includes the $5,000 price, so this edge is inside the noise of the sample.

Early read: only 14 pulls indexed — this is a lean, not a settled verdict. The numbers can swing hard until the sample reaches 30.
Cash-out EV is $4,365 on a $5,000 pack (-12.7% net after the ~85% buyback) — the average rip loses money.
Cash-out EV is $4,365.20 against a $5,000.00 price, but the sample is not precise enough to call that a real edge — the 95% range is $3,359.10 to $5,371.29, which still includes the price. It leans negative; it is not established.
The typical pull (median) is $4,082 — 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 $5,160 vs $4,618 lifetime — the pool has improved recently.
14.3% of pulls meet or beat the pack price, across 14 indexed pulls.

Log this decision:

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.

Pro adds the Pool Health score and chase-removal impact.

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

Signal lifetime

SIGNAL Stale · 13 days ago

No new pulls for well past this pack's usual gap (typically 3 days). It may be paused, sold out, or no longer indexed.

Newest pull: 13 days; observed
Pull rate: 0.3/day; observed
Pulls, 7d: 0; observed
Half-life: Pro

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
