Fossil
Booster Box no-chase EV calculator

Estimate the English Fossil Booster Box: 36 packs of 11 cards. Choose Unlimited Edition (TCGplayer product 107600) or 1st Edition (product 107601); each uses its own exact nonfoil quotes from generated local data. Market never borrows Low or another edition.

Chase branches are excluded: holo rares, EX/GX/V/VMAX/VSTAR, secret rares, Shiny/Radiant/Trainer Gallery, illustration, hyper, ACE SPEC, and other premium rows do not contribute to this baseline.

Calculation order: ordinary pack contents are assigned to card rows first, then disabled pools and optional Sift filtering are applied afterward. Disabled rows do not backfill into other cards.

No-chase baseline

This documented no-chase scenario removes the 15 Holo Rare outcomes and normalizes the ordinary Rare slot before drawing all 396 cards: 7 Common, 3 Uncommon and 1 non-holo Rare in each of 36 packs. Uniform allocation across the 16 Common, 16 Uncommon and 15 Rare identities is the retained model assumption; exact factory print-sheet frequencies are not established. Fossil has no Energy pool or reverse-holo slot.

Guaranteed box toppers, standalone sealed-product inserts, non-game inserts, code cards, and standalone basic Energy insert slots are outside this no-chase model. Numbered Common/Uncommon Basic Energy rows remain modelable; Rare Basic Energy rows stay out of ordinary no-chase slots.

Loaded pools: waiting for card data.

Sift is a price floor. Row tinting always uses the Sift value; EV only uses it when Use Sift in EV is checked.

Release-specific model analysis

What drives Fossil Booster Box

Product profile. This booster box resolves 396 card positions across 47 named outcomes. The model snapshot dated June 10, 2026 contains 16 Common, 16 Uncommon, 15 Rare. Its largest slot groups are 16 nf common, 16 nf uncommon, 15 rare slot rare. Every listed outcome contributes to the published baseline unless the visitor applies a post-draw filter.

Largest modeled weights. Ekans #46/62 (15.8 expected per booster box), Energy Search #59/62 (15.8 expected per booster box), Gambler #60/62 (15.8 expected per booster box), Geodude #47/62 (15.8 expected per booster box), Grimer #48/62 (15.8 expected per booster box). These are frequency leaders in the product model, not a promise that any individual opening will contain them.

Release-specific card examples. Aerodactyl (16), Arbok #31/62, Horsea #49/62, Articuno (17), Ditto (18), Dragonite (19), Gengar (20), Haunter (21). 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.

Reference snapshot value concentration. At the TCGplayer Market snapshot dated August 12, 2026, 47 modeled outcomes have a usable direct or documented fallback price. The largest deterministic contributions come from Kabuto #50/62 ($332.17), Gengar (20) ($246.91), Dragonite (19) ($243.89), Psyduck #53/62 ($190.73), Slowpoke #55/62 ($98.59). Together those five rows account for 36.3% of the modeled gross value. This dated reference does not update with the live calculator's prices or Sift settings.

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.

Selling Fees

Per-row net EV uses percentage and transaction fees. Per-order processing is controlled in purchase settings.

Value Threshold

Generated Pokemon price snapshots support Market, Low, and Direct Low pricing for EV.
Rows below Sift are removed from EV only if the toggle below is on.

EV Range (Monte Carlo)

Runs per summary update; low and high are central quantiles from product openings.

Purchase EV

Whole boxes only (0–1,000); fractional and out-of-range input is normalized before calculating.

Adds the marketplace per-order processing fee in the purchase summary.
