Right now: the best rip in The Infinite Forbidden is the Booster Pack [1st Ed] at $3.41 against $2.57 of expected pulls — a −36% margin after ~15% selling fees. Figures refresh every two hours.
The Infinite Forbidden (July 19, 2024) is the Exodia set — Konami built the release around the Forbidden One, then quietly included the most influential engine of the year in the Fiendsmith cards. That combination of nostalgia chase and competitive demand is why this set's boxes have held their price above the core boosters on either side of it.
Structure is standard: nine cards per pack, one guaranteed foil, 24 packs per box, and a 25-card Quarter Century Secret Rare pool at the top. Community estimates put Secret Rares around 1 in 14 packs and Starlight or QC Secret hits near 1 in 100, so a typical box yields a couple of Secrets and about a one-in-four shot at the premium tier.
The catch: when a set's sealed price rises to match its chase cards, the ripper's edge shrinks. The Infinite Forbidden genuinely carries better EV than an average core booster — whether the market has already priced that in is exactly what the live tables below answer.
