Legendary Duelists: Season 3 Box [1st Edition]

Is a booster box of LDS3 worth opening?

Box price$12.60TCGplayer market price
Expected value$14.78
If you sell the cards$7.92With a 5% fee and leaving out cards under $0.50
A typical box$6.60The median of 10,000 simulated boxes
You get your money back16%In 1 out of 6 boxes

On average, no: selling the cards from a LDS3 box would get you $7.92, 63% of the $12.60 it costs. A typical box gives $6.60 and only 16% of boxes get your money back. If you're after a specific card, buying it as a single is usually cheaper.

How reliable the rates are: good (several sources that agree).

LDS3 pull rates

How many cards of each rarity group come in a 2-pack box, how many packs it takes to pull one specific card of the group and how much the group adds to the box value.

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.

Collector box with fixed contents: 1 Secret Rare and 2 packs of 18 cards (1 regular Ultra, 2 colored Ultras and 15 commons each). Here the box is those 2 packs.
