Right now: the best rip in Scarlet & Violet is the Booster Box (36 packs) at $311.41 against $254.12 of expected pulls — a −31% margin after ~15% selling fees. Figures refresh every two hours.
The Scarlet & Violet base set opened the era on March 31, 2023 — new ex mechanics, a new rarity ladder, and a print run built for mass supply. Base sets get printed to meet demand, and printed-to-demand sets rarely model well: this one's per-pack EV has sat among the lowest in modern Pokémon.
The chase board is led by the Miriam Special Illustration Rare, with Koraidon ex and Miraidon ex fronting the marquee slots. Odds are the SV standard: a guaranteed reverse holo, a Double Rare in about 30% of rare slots, an Ultra Rare 1 in 10, an Illustration Rare roughly 1 in 9 packs, a Special Illustration Rare about 1 in 33 and a gold Hyper Rare near 1 in 83 — all community estimates.
Every product exists, from loose packs to the 36-pack booster box, and all of it has recently modeled at a steep loss. This is a singles set. The live table below shows the current gap, updated every couple of hours.
