Where the numbers come from
The expected value adds up, for each rarity group, the copies in a box times the average price of its cards (the English card, with its TCGplayer price or, if there isn't one, Cardmarket's converted). The simulation opens 10,000 boxes with the same rates.
Sword & Shield, elitefourum, 2,736 packs: V, VMAX or VSTAR 1 in 6 packs, Full Art 1 in 27 and Secret Rare (rainbow or gold) 1 in 41. Pack of 5 commons, 3 uncommons, 1 reverse holo and 1 rare or better; the rare/holo rare split is an estimate (CardCodex's figure for other sets of the era, unsourced).
