GLOSSARY What these terms mean
EV
Expected value — the probability-weighted average dollar value of what a sealed product contains, based on current singles prices.
EV ratio
Median crack EV divided by box price, shown as a multiplier (e.g. 1.10×). Above 1.00× means the modeled contents are worth more than the box; below 1.00× means the box price exceeds them.
Crack EV
The median simulated payout from opening one box and selling every card it produced at its current market price.
Median crack
The middle outcome across thousands of simulated box openings — half the simulated boxes pay out more than this, half pay out less.
Spread
The gap between what a vendor pays to buy a card (bid) and what it charges to sell the same card (ask).
Bid value
What a vendor's buylist currently pays for a card, before any fees or store credit bonus.
Offer gap
The percentage difference between a vendor's buylist price and its retail price for the same card — tight, normal, or wide.
Playable
A printing that is legal in at least one constructed format this site tracks, as opposed to a collector-only variant.
Lane
A liquidity grouping used to keep price moves comparable — main-set printings trade differently than foils, serialized cards, and other premium variants, so each lane is tracked on its own.
