Foundations Collector Booster EV Calculator

Estimate the expected value (EV) of Magic: The Gathering Foundations Collector Booster Display using live TCGplayer market prices and the backend collector-box model.

The calculator draws modeled box contents first from the backend slot contributions, then applies included-bucket toggles and optional Sift filtering as post-draw scoring filters.

12 packs / box 15 game cards / pack 180 modeled card slots / box Backend Collector Booster model
FDN Collector Booster Display uses the published 15-card structure with 5 commons, 4 uncommons, 1 land, and 5 rare-or-higher slots. Known Normal, Extended Art, Borderless, Mana Foil, and Showcase pools are modeled conservatively; fracture foil and unresolved rare-or-higher wildcard branches remain occupied zero-EV slots. FDN Collector Booster Display keeps the occupied zero-EV slot "remaining rare-or-higher wildcard / fracture foil branch" instead of inventing missing odds or price identity. Draw all pack and display slots first, then apply any Sift or filtering logic afterward.
Included model buckets
Rows are grouped by backend model bucket. Sift is applied only after model contents are drawn.

Selling Fees

Row fees show pct + txn. Order fees are added only in the summary.

Value Threshold

Prices load from generated snapshots when available, with TCGCSV price groups as a live fallback. EV applies Sift after modeled contents are drawn.
Rows with Value >= Sift tint green. EV uses Sift only when the toggle is checked.
