Is Sealed Magic: The Gathering Booster worth buying right now?

This listing is sold at 3 price points ($10, $25, $50) under one name, and indexed pulls are not tagged with the price paid — so there is no verdict and no measured return for any single tier. Sharing the pooled cash-out EV of $16.59 across them gives 1.66x at $10, 0.66x at $25, 0.33x at $50. That arithmetic assumes every tier draws from the same pool, which is exactly what this data cannot show; if the cheaper tier holds cheaper cards its real return is lower.

What is the EV of Sealed Magic: The Gathering Booster?

Is Sealed Magic: The Gathering Booster worth it right now?

Multi-price listing

Courtyard sells this listing at 3 price points under one name, and the 2,301 indexed pulls are not tagged with the price paid. So there is no verdict here, and no measured return for any single tier — only what the pooled calibrated EV ($19.59, worth $16.59 after the observed 85% buyback) would come to if you paid each price:

If you pay	Pooled cash-out ratio	At sticker FMV
$10	1.659x	1.959x
$25	0.664x	0.784x
$50	0.332x	0.392x

These assume every price point draws from the same pool. That is the one thing this data cannot show — if the cheaper tier holds cheaper cards, its real return is lower than the row above. Treat them as arithmetic, not as a measured outcome, until pulls carry the price paid.

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.

Lifecycle stage, health, and chase removals — read from indexed pulls, never guessed.

No price set — pool economics can’t be computed.

NO DATA

No price set — pool economics can’t be computed.

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

Chase tracker

No pack price set, so a chase tier cannot be anchored.

Signal lifetime

SIGNAL Fresh · 5.0 h ago

Recomputed against pulls indexed in the last few hours. At the observed pull rate, half the evidence behind this read is replaced in about 3 months.

Newest pull: 5.0 h; observed
Pull rate: 29.0/day; observed
Pulls, 7d: 187; 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

04 / Floor safety

Sealed Magic: The Gathering Booster floor safety & buyback reality

The two ways average EV lies to you — how top-heavy the pack is, and what FMV actually converts to in cash — then which exit pays most.

In Sealed Magic: The Gathering Booster, the top 2% of pulls account for 14% of all pulled value — low dilution. Value is spread fairly evenly across the pool, so the average is close to what a typical rip returns. The observed instant-offer ratio is 85% of FMV, which is the cash number every verdict on this page already uses.

Floor safety

low dilution

14% of everything this pack has paid out came from just the top 2% of pulls. Value is spread broadly across pulls, so the average sits closer to the typical rip here than it does on a top-heavy pack. It still sits above the median — check both.

Buyback reality

84.7% of FMV observed

Across 2,198 indexed pulls that carry a recorded bid, a $100 FMV pull cashes out around $85 if you instant-sell — in line with the platform's 84.6%. This is the figure every verdict on the site multiplies by.

Holding, listing, or physically redeeming can beat the instant offer — but redemption shipping (typically $16+) eats small wins.

Net exit value

960 paired pulls · 96% bid coverage · confidence 100%

Instant-selling the average (mean) pull here returns $17.08 — $3.11 below sticker FMV (15.4% haircut). That figure is the average of bids we actually recorded, not the platform rate applied blind.

Pro compares all three exits side by side, with the redemption breakeven and the value-by-value haircut curve for this pack.

Bids are recorded, resale is not. Instant-buyback figures are real offers captured at index time and can move. Redemption shipping starts near $16 in the US, is higher internationally, and is charged per shipment — batching pulls lowers it. We publish no resale estimate, liquidity score, or time-to-sell, because no such data is available to us. How buyback works
