Best Pokémon sets to open right now

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. Figures update daily from TCGplayer market prices.
