RipIndex History
What is RipIndex?

RipIndex is a data-driven metric that tells you how much value you get back for every dollar you spend opening a Pokemon TCG booster pack. A RipIndex of 1.00 means dollar-for-dollar value. A RipIndex of 0.50 means you expect to recover 50 cents per dollar spent on average over many pack openings.

RipIndex is designed to augment your enjoyment of the hobby — helping you make informed decisions about which packs to open. It is not a guarantee of any outcome from any single pack.

The Formula
RipIndex = EV / Pack Market Price

Expected Value (EV) accounts for every card that can come out of a pack — commons, uncommons, rares, holos, reverse holos, Illustration Rares, Special Illustration Rares, Pokéball and Master Ball patterns, Team Rocket variants, special energies, and god pack probability where applicable. Each card's current TCGPlayer market price is weighted by its community-confirmed pull rate.

What Each Metric Means
  • RipIndex — EV divided by pack price. Closer to 1.00 = better value per dollar.
  • Total EV — Average dollar value of cards expected per pack based on live prices and pull rates.
  • Pack Price — Live TCGPlayer market price updated daily.
  • Pull Chance — Probability that at least one card in your pack is worth more than the pack price.
  • God Pack EV — For sets with confirmed god packs, the probability-weighted contribution is included in Total EV.
Data

All card and pack prices come from TCGPlayer market data, updated daily.
