UNION ARENA / Booster Display
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- 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.
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.

Best Evidence — Owner-approved ordinary display model
Evidence
This calculator is based on Best Evidence — Owner-approved ordinary display model reviewed October 6, 2026.

Limitations
- Best Evidence — Owner-approved ordinary display model: independently approved for UE24BT on October 6, 2026 by the direct owner reply "Approve". Per twelve-card pack: 6 Common, 4 Uncommon, 1 Rare and an additional card at 70% Rare / 30% Super Rare. One equally weighted regular foil topper from six per display. These are owner-approved assumptions, not publisher odds, a qualifying empirical sample, Japanese rates or factory guarantees.
- Bandai confirms English North American identity, sixteen twelve-card packs and one random topper from nine designs: six regular Foil and three Gold Foil. Only the six retained regular Foil toppers are normalized in this owner-approved baseline. Publisher evidence establishes packaging and identities; owner approval supplies the ordinary recipe, exclusions and weights.
- Equal positive weights within the 35 Common, 35 Uncommon, 18 Rare and 12 Super Rare ordinary pools and six regular foil topper identities are owner-approved assumptions. Independent draws claim no short-print weights, placement, duplicate restrictions, manufacturing-wave equivalence or box/case correlations. Expected counts of 96 C, 64 U, 27.2 R, 4.8 SR and one topper are expectations, not factory guarantees.
- The owner approved an ordinary-only baseline without a documented collector counterpart, excluding all Action Point and alternate-art/premium parallel identities. Some AP are ordinary nonfoil cards; their omission is a scope decision, not a claim each is premium chase. Gold Foil toppers, all autograph parallels and serialized hand-signed AP outcomes are excluded before construction; serialized exclusion is mandatory. Remove excluded identities and branches, normalize eligible outcomes before drawing and fill every physical position; never retain excluded zero-EV occupied outcomes.
- Draw the complete 193-card display before Sift, disabled-pool toggles or user filters; never reroll or backfill a rejected card. The regular foil topper contributes only to display EV and never to the embedded twelve-card pack EV.
- No qualifying attributable English UE24BT ordinary-slot sample ledger was located. Checklist counts and prices are not probabilities. Japanese rates and products are not donor evidence. CHAINSAW MAN approval is not inherited; this direct owner decision is UE24BT-specific. Replace or withdraw on credible contradictory exact-product evidence.
- Retain exact English card SKU/finish and display 696138 Normal price joins, separate from case 696137 and loose-pack identities. Exact Low row and expected-count mass coverage must remain complete. Changed inventory, missing prices, ambiguous subtypes or contradictory evidence fail closed. Independent publication review and coordinated production release remain required.

Pricing
Historical Low-price review: these figures describe the printing pool and observation date used for the original review. They do not establish current price availability or completeness of a later corrected model. Current selected-source coverage is shown separately after loading.
TCGplayer Low is the default singles price for the first calculation and remains selected until changed. Resetting the price source returns to TCGplayer Low.

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 and autograph parallels
- Action Point cards
- Serialized hand-signed Action Point cards
- Gold Foil box toppers

Basis: The owner approved an ordinary-only baseline without a documented collector counterpart, excluding all Action Point and alternate-art/premium parallel identities.

All modeled slots are resolved before pool toggles or Sift score the opened product. This ordering prevents replacement draws from inflating EV.

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.
