Calculation Methodology
The fair price for each Adventures in the Forgotten Realms booster is calculated by summing the expected value of all possible cards, weighted by the probability of each card appearing in a random pack. Pricing data comes from TCGPlayer and Cardmarket, and is updated weekly to reflect market fluctuations.
A fair price above the purchase price indicates that, on average, you'll get more value than you pay. However, variance is high: a single pack might contain a $50 mythic or only penny commons.
