PackValue was created to help Pokémon card collectors make more informed decisions when purchasing sealed products. Opening booster packs is inherently random, and it can be difficult to compare different sets or products based on intuition alone. PackValue provides a statistical lens for evaluating packs by estimating their expected value using publicly available data.

The site focuses on expected value rather than individual outcomes. Expected value does not predict what will happen in a single pack, but it does describe the long-run average result across many identical openings. This makes it a useful comparison tool for understanding how different sets relate to one another over time.

Data Sources and Methodology

PackValue calculations rely on two primary inputs: pull probabilities and market prices. Pull-rate information is derived from published odds, large-sample openings, and community-verified sources. Market prices are sourced from TCGplayer and are updated regularly to reflect current conditions.

All calculations are estimates. Market prices fluctuate, pull rates may vary between products, and individual results will differ. PackValue is intended as a comparative and educational tool, not as financial advice or a guarantee of value.

External Links and Affiliations

PackValue includes links to third-party websites, most notably TCGplayer. These links allow users to view detailed listings or purchase products directly from external marketplaces. When you click a third-party link, you leave PackValue and are subject to the policies and practices of that site.

Some outbound links may be affiliate links. This means PackValue may receive a small commission if a purchase is made through those links, at no additional cost to the user. Affiliate relationships do not influence pull rates, prices, rankings, or calculations displayed on the site.

Intended Use

PackValue is designed for collectors, hobbyists, and anyone curious about the statistical side of opening Pokémon card packs. The site does not encourage gambling behavior and does not sell sealed products directly. Users are encouraged to treat pack openings as entertainment rather than an investment strategy.

While care is taken to keep information accurate and up to date, no guarantees are made regarding completeness or accuracy. Users are responsible for their own purchasing decisions.
