Sealed TCG Market Report — 2026-08-25

Of the 473 sealed products the calculator tracks across ten TCGs, 104 are +EV after a ~15% selling haircut in the 2026-08-25 snapshot — every figure below is fee-adjusted, computed from live TCGPlayer market prices and community pull-rate estimates. This report regenerates weekly from the same data that powers the calculator, so the numbers are the site's, not a hot take.

A margin this positive usually means one of three things: a reprint-heavy set the market hasn't repriced, chase singles running hotter than sealed, or thin sealed supply throwing the price. Check the set page before acting on any row — the margin decomposes into exactly which slots carry it.

Margin moves come from either side of the ratio: singles heating up (EV rises) or sealed repricing (cost rises). A product that swings more than 20 points in a week is usually reacting to a reprint announcement, a tournament result, or a supply drop — worth checking the news before chasing the number.

A negative median is the healthy, normal state — sealed carries a collector premium over expected pulls in almost every game, almost all the time. Games whose median sits closest to zero are where rippers should hunt, and where the leaderboard earns its keep.

Method, in one paragraph

EV per pack = each value slot's community-estimated rates × the live market average of the cards behind that rate, plus a flat 5¢ per filler card. Multiply by packs per product, apply a 15% haircut for seller fees and shipping, and compare against the product's TCGPlayer market price. Rates are estimates, variance is enormous, and one pack tells you nothing — the full methodology covers the caveats. Nothing here is financial advice.
