Rare slot odds: Wizards of the Coast, Collecting Foundations (official).
Each line adds its pull rate times the average TCGplayer market price of its cards. Every other card counts as bulk at $0.05. Play Boosters can also hold a rare in the wildcard and foil slots. Wizards doesn't publish those odds, so they count as bulk here and the real value is a little higher. The value is an average over many boxes. Selling fees and shipping are not taken off.
