Core Set 2021 Collector Booster Display EV Calculator

Estimate the expected value (EV) of Core Set 2021 Collector Booster Display using daily generated TCGplayer price snapshots and the backend collector-box model.

Model assumptions & evidence

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.

Full-product EV is unavailable. The final any-rarity foil slot has unresolved allocation, the regular foil rare/mythic estimate omits extended-art upgrades, and the exact nonfoil Rin and Seri identity and price are missing. Displayed priced values are provisional subtotals; unknown outcomes are not zero-value cards. All 180 physical positions are drawn before Sift or pool filters.

Value Threshold

Price source for EV

Prices load from daily generated TCGplayer, Mana Pool, and Cardmarket snapshots. EV applies Sift after modeled contents are drawn.

Sift

Rows with Value >= Sift tint green. EV uses Sift only when the toggle is checked.

Pack Structure

Each Core Set 2021 Collector Booster is modeled with 15 game-card slots.

Foil Commons4 cards / pack

Pool: 126 modeled card outcomes.4 foil commons, common dual lands, or basic lands: 4 expected / pack.

Foil Uncommons2 cards / pack

Pool: 80 modeled card outcomes.2 foil uncommons: 2 expected / pack.

Land1 card / pack

Pool: 5 modeled card outcomes.Foil showcase basic land: 1 expected / pack.

2 foil rare or mythic rare baseline slots2 cards / pack

Pool: 68 modeled card outcomes.2 foil rare or mythic rare baseline slots: 2 expected / pack.

Nonfoil Showcase3 cards / pack

Pool: 30 modeled card outcomes.2 showcase commons or uncommons: 2 expected / pack.Showcase or borderless rare or mythic rare: 1 expected / pack.

Foil Showcase2 cards / pack

Pool: 11 modeled card outcomes.Foil showcase or borderless card any rarity: 1 expected / pack.Foil showcase common or uncommon: 1 expected / pack.

Nonfoil Extended Art1 card / pack

Pool: 52 modeled card outcomes.Extended-art rare or mythic rare: 1 expected / pack.

Draw all pack and display slots first, then apply any Sift or filtering logic afterward.

Non-game inserts are not counted toward EV unless the model explicitly lists them.
