Right now: the best rip in Cosmic Eclipse is the Booster Pack at $74.29 against $20.93 of expected pulls — a −76% margin after ~15% selling fees, and a 5% chance it actually pays for itself. Figures refresh every two hours.
Cosmic Eclipse closed out the Sun & Moon era on November 1, 2019, and it went out big: the largest set of the era, 21 gold secret rares, and a TAG TEAM roster headlined by Charizard & Braixen-GX. As the SM finale it draws steady collector demand, and sealed prices have climbed to match.
The slot math is standard late-SM fare. Expect an ultra rare or better roughly 1 in 10 to 11 packs, rainbow secrets near 1 in 50, and any given pack producing a gold about 1 in 100 — community estimates, since official rates don't exist. The catch is the checklist size: with this many secrets, value is spread across dozens of cards, and only a handful of TAG TEAM alt arts carry real weight.
That spread is what kills the rip. Pack prices carry a vintage premium set by the best possible outcome, while the average pack delivers a baseline holo. Check the live EV table below before you talk yourself into a box.
