- No completed-sale observations: prices are marketplace estimates and listings, so every price band is at its widest.
- Ravensburger publishes no rarity odds. Ordinary rates come from one store's 1,056-pack sample; chase rates are community priors updated by that sample.
- Epic, Enchanted and Iconic are assumed to occupy the foil slot. If Epic instead replaces a Rare-or-better slot the mean barely changes but the foil mix does.
- Common and Uncommon cold foils were not counted for Winterspell; their split uses a First Chapter box as a proxy.
- A 960-pack Reddit comment (2 Iconic, 8 Enchanted, 62 Epic) is deliberately excluded: comments volunteering big hits are a self-selected sample.
- Every card in a rarity and finish pool is equally likely; no per-card print-sheet weights are published.
- Draws are treated as independent; per-box or per-case guarantees are not modeled.

How FoilFox calculates booster box expected value (EV)
Why mean expected value alone misleads—and how FoilFox models a box.
A single expected value number mixes everyday pulls with 1-in-2,500-pack lottery cards. FoilFox models each booster pack as an explicit slot grammar with mutually exclusive branches, updates pull-rate priors with empirical opening counts using a Beta-Binomial posterior, and runs Monte Carlo box trials alongside parameter-uncertainty scenarios.
Every box shows both its exact arithmetic mean expected value and its median box outcome (P50), 10th–90th percentile spread, chase vs. non-chase expected value split, and probability of clearing the sealed box price.
Collector vs. Seller valuation personas
Collector value prices every pulled card at its realizable FoilFox market quote or labeled estimate. Seller net subtracts 13.25% marketplace fees and $0.15 per-card shipping on cards at or above $1.00, and values sub-dollar bulk at $0.03 per card.
All figures are planning estimates, not a guarantee, appraisal, or offer. Unpriced catalog variants count as $0 rather than borrowing another printing’s price, and every price band widens when completed-sale observations are scarce.
