![Tactical Evolution - Booster Box [1st Edition]](/img/tcg/57160?s=l)
Is a booster box of TAEV worth opening?
On average, no: selling the cards from a TAEV box would get you $104, 14% of the $720 it costs. A typical box gives $73.38 and only 0.0% 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).
TAEV 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.

| Common | 48 | 186 (184–192) | 1 in 6 packs | $82.31 | 52% |

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.
2007-2010 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 and Ghost 1 in 288. The Secret Rare (often quoted as 1 in 31, unsourced) and Ultimate Rares have no published rate: they don't count.
