Right now: the best rip in Plasma Blast is the Booster Pack at $275.45 against $17.00 of expected pulls — a −95% margin after ~15% selling fees, and a 1% chance it actually pays for itself. Figures refresh every two hours.
Plasma Blast (August 14, 2013) is the last Team Plasma set in the Black & White series and ships in the era's 10-card pack: a reverse holo in every pack plus one rare slot that every hit replaces. As vintage sealed, loose packs carry a hefty collector premium, so rip margins model deeply negative by design; the singles market, not the pack price, is the real signal.
Community estimates put an ACE SPEC at about 1 in 12 packs, a Pokémon-EX roughly 1 in 9, a full art near 1 in 36 and a Secret Rare around 1 in 72. Full-art Palkia-EX and Dialga-EX lead, with full-art Genesect-EX, the Secret Rare Rare Candy and full-art Jirachi-EX behind. Secret Rare Exeggcute, Dusknoir and Virizion and the full-art Iris Supporter fill out a deep top tier.
Only loose Booster Packs are listed for Plasma Blast; no booster box or Elite Trainer Box listing has a market price, so the live table is a single row. It pairs the pack price with a fee-adjusted EV built from community-estimated rates and current singles prices. Master Ball is the priciest ACE SPEC, but the tier adds little; the numbers below refresh every couple of hours.

Is a Plasma Blast booster box tracked?
No. Only loose 10-card Booster Packs have a tracked market price; no booster box or Elite Trainer Box listing is priced, so the live table models single packs only.
What are the odds a Booster Pack of Plasma Blast pays for itself?
About 1% after ~15% selling fees (1% before fees) as of 2026-10-27, computed from the exact outcome distribution of the Plasma Blast pack model rather than a simulation. The median Booster Pack returns $3.15 of cards after fees against its $275.45 price, and the chance of at least doubling your money is under 0.5%. These odds refresh with every two-hourly price update.
