TCGROI (also written TCG ROI) is a free Pokémon TCG expected-value calculator. It prices every card in a set against its published pull rates to show what a sealed product actually returns compared with what it costs.
Expected return is based on standard booster pack prices and published pull rates.
Read the full methodology, including the sourcing bar a pull rate has to clear and what this model deliberately does not do.
Every set with published pull rates, ranked by what a booster pack actually returns in card value against what it costs. 100% means a pack returns exactly what you paid for it; below 100% means you lose money on average by opening it. Cards under $10 are excluded, since they are rarely worth selling individually.
