Booster box value — card value vs box price
Does opening a booster box make sense, or are singles cheaper? For each set we compare the Cardmarket box price with the value of the cards inside.
Ratio = total value of all cards from €5 in the set ÷ box price. It measures how “rich” a set is, not the profit from opening: one box holds only some of the hits and publishers don’t publish pull rates. Below 1.5× singles are almost always cheaper; above 3× the set has many valuable cards.
