Power of the Elements Booster Box [Unlimited Edition]

Is a booster box of POTE worth opening?

Box price$48.43TCGplayer market price
Expected value$48.12$46.93 to $49.64 depending on the rates
If you sell the cards$24.55With a 5% fee and leaving out cards under $0.50
A typical box$21.15The median of 10,000 simulated boxes
You get your money back4.5%In 1 out of 22 boxes

On average, no: selling the cards from a POTE box would get you $24.55, 51% of the $48.43 it costs. A typical box gives $21.15 and only 4.5% 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: fair (community estimate).

POTE pull rates

How many cards of each rarity group come in a 24-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.

2020-2023 core booster (from Eternity Code). 9-card pack: 8 commons and 1 foil (a Super Rare or, in its place, an Ultra or Secret Rare), no rares. Per 24-pack box, 18 Super, 4 Ultra and 2 Secret Rares on average: Konami's official 2015 ratio, which the community treats as still current; Konami hasn't restated it. Starlight: between 1 per 12-box case and 1 per 2 cases (TCGplayer market articles).
