How the number is worked out

Each Scarlet & Violet Base Set pack holds $3.80 of cards on average: the published pull rate of every rarity times the average TCGplayer market price of the cards in it, plus the common, uncommon and reverse holo slots. The Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box has 11 packs, so 11 x $3.80 = $41.80. The promo card, sleeves and accessories are not counted. Expected value is a long-run average: most openings land below it and a few far above, and selling fees come out of what you would net. Full methodology.
