Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy Booster Box

Is a booster box of LTGY worth opening?

Box price$139Cardmarket, converted to dollars
Expected value$92.71$92.12 to $94.47 depending on the rates
If you sell the cards$42.66With a 5% fee and leaving out cards under $0.50
A typical box$32.81The median of 10,000 simulated boxes
You get your money back7.8%In 1 out of 13 boxes

On average, no: selling the cards from a LTGY box would get you $42.66, 31% of the $139 it costs. A typical box gives $32.81 and only 7.8% 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).

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.

2010-2015 core booster: 8 commons and 1 rare per pack, with a foil in some packs. Konami ratios: Super 1 in 5 packs, Ultra 1 in 12, Secret 1 in 23 and Ghost 1 in 288. Ultimate Rares have no published rate: they don't count.
