Time Stranger [BT24] 24-Pack Booster Display EV Calculator
Estimate this physical product's no-chase expected value with a product-, region-, language-, and printing-specific model, then compare the modeled range with your entered cost. Estimated ROI is a planning metric, not a guaranteed return.

Limitations
- The immutable product revision does not publish a qualifying English sealed-case rarity breakdown.
- Publisher-supported fixed-bonus treatment: Bandai advertises a Box Purchase Bonus Pack drawn from 12 types, including 6 new promo cards. This purchase-promotion/box-topper family is excluded from display EV: it is outside the 24 sealed boosters, and the locked English evidence does not provide a complete exact-price pool and attributable four-card selection weights.
- The display identity and 24-pack wrapper are exact, but display/case guarantees and covariance are not modeled.
- Modeling policy approved 2026-09-03: every supported ordinary card in the same slot, rarity, treatment, and finish pool receives one equal positive selection weight. This is a transparent modeling assumption where the publisher or empirical sample gives pool odds but not card-level sheet weights.
- Best Evidence — Japanese collation proxy: exact English wrapper and card-price identities are combined with an owner-approved Japanese-product collation proxy because a complete English rate ledger is not published. This is an estimate, not a factory guarantee.
- Only booster-pack slot counts and rarity probabilities are proxied. Card identities, treatments, TCGplayer Low prices, sealed-product identity, language, region, release date, and any explicitly modeled fixed bonus come from the exact English release.
- The proxy is first-order and product-family-specific. No display or case correlation is inherited, and no target is used as a donor for another target.
- Within each retained English rarity/treatment pool, exact positively priced card SKUs use equal positive weight where publisher sheet weights are unavailable.
- Per pack proxy: 7 Common, 3 Uncommon, 1 guaranteed Rare, and 1 Rare-or-higher slot weighted 16/24 Rare, 7/24 Super Rare, and 1/24 Secret Rare.
- Replace this proxy when a complete, attributable English collation ledger or publisher rate table becomes available for the exact release.
- No-chase redraw policy approved 2026-09-03: Curio, Enchanted, alternate-art, parallel, showcase, serialized, signature, premium-rarity, promotional, and any other card or treatment without a supported pull rate are excluded. A chase hit is redrawn from the applicable supported ordinary pool, so excluded cards occupy no modeled outcome.
- Simulation ordering is draw the complete disclosed no-chase product first, record that draw, and only then apply Sift or another user filter. Sift never changes or backfills the completed modeled draw.

No-chase model
Chase Exclusions
Excluded chase families are removed from the model entirely. They are never retained as zero-EV occupied outcomes. Each affected physical position is instead filled from its disclosed supported ordinary pool before the product draw is completed.
- Alternate-art, parallel, and promotional cards
- Unpriced or incomplete-metadata special cards
- Unsupported premium or foil treatments
Model assumptions & evidence
Simulation order: complete product contents are drawn first. Included-pool controls and optional Sift are applied only after the draw, and filtered outcomes are never replaced or backfilled.

All modeled slots are resolved before pool toggles or Sift score the opened product. This ordering prevents replacement draws from inflating EV.
Release-specific model analysis
What drives Time Stranger [BT24] 24-Pack Booster Display
Product profile. This booster display resolves 288 card positions across 102 named outcomes. The model snapshot dated September 4, 2026 contains 40 Common, 26 Uncommon, 22 Rare, 12 Super Rare, 2 Secret Rare. Its largest slot groups are 40 common, 26 uncommon, 22 rare, 12 super rare, 2 secret rare. Every listed outcome contributes to the published baseline unless the visitor applies a post-draw filter.
Largest modeled weights. Abyss Sanctuary Throne Room #BT24-090 C (4.20 expected per booster display), Bukamon #BT24-002 C (4.20 expected per booster display), Cyclonemon #BT24-011 C (4.20 expected per booster display), DemiDevimon #BT24-068 C (4.20 expected per booster display), Docmon #BT24-057 C (4.20 expected per booster display). These are frequency leaders in the product model, not a promise that any individual opening will contain them.
Release-specific card examples. Aegiochusmon #BT24-014 R, Aegiomon #BT24-034 SR, Asuna Shiroki #BT24-088 UC, Garurumon #BT24-046 C, Homeros #BT24-102 SEC, Gigimon #BT24-001 C, Tsunomon BT24 003 #BT24-003 C, Wanyamon #BT24-004 C. Seeing the named pool makes it possible to compare this release with adjacent sets instead of treating every sealed product as the same generic pack calculation.
Current value concentration. At the TCGplayer Low snapshot dated September 4, 2026, 36 modeled outcomes have a usable direct or documented fallback price. The largest deterministic contributions come from Homeros #BT24-102 SEC ($16.50), Aegiomon #BT24-034 SR ($15.94), Jupitermon #BT24-101 SEC ($8.50), Dan Yuki and Kanan Yuki #BT24-085 ($7.58), In Between Theater #BT24-100 ($2.73). Together those five rows account for 90.4% of the modeled gross value, so changes in those cards can move the estimate materially.
The baseline product model is constructed first, including any documented chase exclusions. The calculator then draws the complete baseline product. Included-pool controls and optional Sift evaluate that completed draw afterward and do not alter its collation.

How is estimated ROI calculated? It equals modeled profit divided by the entered product cost. Modeled profit subtracts that product cost, selected seller fees, and any entered order or shipping costs from the modeled resale value. It is not a guaranteed return; pull variance, market price changes, taxes, and other unmodeled selling costs can change actual resale results.

The simulator draws the full physical product first, then applies disabled pools and optional Sift. Filtered outcomes occupy their actual slots and are never backfilled.
