Is a booster box of ROTA worth opening?

Box price$81.81TCGplayer market price
Expected value$77.80$75.93 to $79.67 depending on the rates
If you sell the cards$40.63With a 5% fee and leaving out cards under $0.50
A typical box$27.64The median of 10,000 simulated boxes
You get your money back9.0%In 1 out of 11 boxes

On average, no: selling the cards from a ROTA box would get you $40.63, 50% of the $81.81 it costs. A typical box gives $27.64 and only 9.0% 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).

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.

25th-anniversary core booster (2023-2025), with Quarter Century Secret Rares. 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. Quarter Century Secret: 1 in 3 or 4 boxes (TCGplayer market estimate).
