Is Soccer Platinum Pack worth it right now?

050100

Early read: only 22 pulls indexed — this is a lean, not a settled verdict. The numbers can swing hard until the sample reaches 30.
Cash-out EV is $402 on a $500 pack (-19.5% net after the ~85% buyback) — the average rip loses money.
Cash-out EV is $402.27, and the sample is precise enough to place it below the $500.00 price: the 95% range is $338.72 to $465.83, which does not include the price.
The typical pull (median) is $426 — most rips return less than the pack price; the EV is carried by rare chase cards.
Recent pulls are averaging 7.4% above where they were 7 days ago. A restock would look like this; so would a lucky week. We cannot see inventory, so this is a change in what came out, not a confirmed change in what is in there.
Low volatility: steady pack. Fewer duds, but also fewer moonshots.
31.8% of pulls meet or beat the pack price, across 22 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.

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 Active · 20 h ago

Current, with pulls still arriving at the usual rate. At the observed pull rate, half the evidence behind this read is replaced in about 29 days.

Newest pull: 20 h; observed
Pull rate: 0.8/day; observed
Pulls, 7d: 9; 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
