Sealed vs. singles calculator

Compare pack cost, expected rip value, sealed resale value after fees, and how many target singles baskets the same Pokemon card budget can buy.

Opening packs, holding sealed product, and buying singles solve different collector goals. This calculator puts the three paths on the same budget so the pack cost and exit assumptions are easy to compare.

Expected pull value is an average across many packs, not the result you should expect from one box. For product-level context, read the sealed buying guide before treating any estimate as a decision.

Budget and productTotal budget USD Sealed product price USD each, including purchase costs Packs per product whole packs Expected pull value per pack USD

Exit assumptionsSelling fee percent of gross Shipping per sale USD seller-paid per order, for either path Opened-card sale orders 1 means selling ALL pulls as one lot Sealed sale mode defines number of shipping charges Fixed platform fee per order USD in addition to percentage fees and postage Expected sealed resale value USD each Desired singles basket USD acquisition cost, not a resale forecast

Net proceeds subtract percentage selling fees and shipping for the stated number of orders. Profit then subtracts the sealed purchase spend; final cash adds unspent budget. Singles show purchase capacity only, not predicted resale value. The entered fixed platform fee is charged per sale order in addition to percentage fees and postage. Income taxes are not modeled. Pull value is an average, not a promise.
