EV is a full-print-run average built from a Wildcard editorial estimate — it assumes every chase card is still sealed, and most boxes return less than the average. We do not record when this estimate was last checked — it may have been written at release and never revisited. How we rate, and what these numbers assume →
What's in the box
- 1 autograph per box (on average)
- 6 refractors + 6 inserts per box
- First Chrome year for a strong young Champions League class
The closest soccer gets to a break-even RIP: a first-Chrome year for a strong young class, near break-even around $200. It rips +EV only below its break-even — above that the singles are the smarter buy. Some hold it as a sleeper (first-Chrome years age well), but on the numbers it's a coin flip, not a lock.
