Core Set 2020 Draft Booster EV Calculator
Estimate the expected value (EV) of Core Set 2020 Booster Box using live TCGplayer market prices and the backend draft-box model.
This historical model draws all game-card slots first, then applies included-bucket toggles and optional Sift filtering as post-draw scoring filters.
36 packs / box15 game cards / pack540 modeled card slots / boxBackend Draft Booster model
10 Normal nonfoil common slots, 3 Normal nonfoil uncommon slots, and 1 Normal nonfoil rare-or-mythic slot per pack with a documented 7:1 rare-to-mythic split. Each slot is modeled uniformly within the current TCGCSV rarity pool; exact old print-sheet ordering and collation are not inferred. 1 Normal nonfoil basic land slot is modeled separately from the common slots. Premium foil replacements are modeled at 1 per 45 card slots; each foil replaces the same-rarity regular card slot before Sift/filtering, so foil branches share the existing slot totals instead of adding cards.
SnapshotTCG Market + $0.25 SiftBased on TCG Market pricing with Sift applied only after complete modeled contents are drawn.

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.
