FINAL FANTASY Play Booster EV Calculator
Estimate the expected value (EV) of FINAL FANTASY Play Booster boxes using live TCGplayer market prices. Updated daily, this calculator uses official slot odds, rarity weighting, and treatment mappings to model realistic pack value projections.
Each sealed box is modeled using the pack and card-slot configuration listed below, including product-specific bonus-sheet or treatment behavior where applicable. Simulations always draw full pack contents first, then apply optional Sift filtering afterward so EV follows true opening order.
Set theme: FINAL FANTASY is themed as a franchise crossover anthology, drawing characters, summons, and moments from across the series into a Magic draft environment with set-specific showcase styling.
30 packs / box

Future EV calculations should draw all 14 game-card slots first, then apply any Sift or filtering logic after the draw.
Non-game inserts are not counted toward EV unless the model explicitly lists them.

Sift is a price floor (USD): rows with Value ≥ Sift tint green. EV only uses Sift if you enable the toggle below.
Selling Fees
Per‑row shows combined pct + txn (txn = 2.5% processing). $0.30/order is added only in the summary.
Value Threshold
Prices load from local TCGCSV snapshots. EV applies Sift only after each pack's contents are drawn.
Rows with Value ≥ Sift tint green. EV only uses Sift if toggled on, and it is applied after each pack’s cards are drawn.
EV Range (Monte Carlo)
Runs per summary update; higher counts smooth the bands but take longer.
Low/High = central quantiles measured from Monte Carlo pack openings.

How to read this: Think of P/E as “dollars paid for each $1 of expected card value.” 1.00x means the box price and the current mid EV are the same. 1.25x means you are paying $125 for each $100 of expected value. 0.90x means you are paying $90 for each $100 of expected value. Lower is cheaper relative to EV, but EV is only an average estimate, not guaranteed profit.
Simulation Results (after Sift)
Confidence band: —
Each bar groups simulated box totals after cards are drawn, then Sift is applied to pack hits. X-axis = box value, Y-axis = number of simulations in that range.
