Right now: the best rip in Dragons Exalted is the Booster Pack at $362.20 against $24.98 of expected pulls — a −94% margin after ~15% selling fees, and a 1% chance it actually pays for itself. Figures refresh every two hours.
Dragons Exalted (August 15, 2012) is the Black & White-series set built around Dragon-type Pokémon, and its 10-card pack follows the era's layout: 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 is the real signal.
Community estimates put a Pokémon-EX at roughly 1 in 9 packs, a full art near 1 in 36 and a Secret Rare around 1 in 72. The Secret Rare Rayquaza is the set's single biggest card by a wide margin, ahead of full-art Giratina-EX, Mew-EX and Ho-Oh-EX. Full-art Rayquaza-EX, the Secret Rare Krookodile, Reuniclus and Serperior and the regular Mew-EX sit behind them.
Only loose Booster Packs are listed for Dragons Exalted; 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. One secret carries an outsized share of the Secret Rare tier, so averages flatter a typical pack; the numbers below refresh every couple of hours.
