Freedom Ascension Deck Build Box (SC01): is it worth it?
A sealed Freedom Ascension Deck Build Box sells for $59.10. Its card value is $97.00: the 125 reprint cards $46.50, 4 Freedom Ascension booster packs $35.24 sealed, the bonus pack $13.99 sealed, tokens and resources $1.27. So the box sells for 39% less than its card value.
Card value is the 125 cards, tokens and resources at market prices, the booster packs at their sealed price, plus the sealed bonus pack's market price (or without it, when the bonus pack is excluded). Premium / discount is the sealed box's price against that: above 0 it costs more than its cards. Each week uses every latest price up to that week.
The 125 reprint cards: $46.50

The booster packs: $35.24
Counted at what a sealed pack sells for, since they can be sold unopened. What opening them returns depends on pull rates, which this page doesn't cover.
| Pack | Copies | Price | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
 Freedom Ascension Booster Pack | 4 | $8.81 | $35.24 |
The bonus pack: $6.53 on average
The pack holds one of 3 EX Base cards made for this box. Bandai doesn't publish the odds, so each counts as 1 in 3: on average the pack is worth $6.53, but 1 of the 3 are worth less than that and the top two (EX Base EXBP-027, EX Base EXBP-026) carry 75% of the value. Sealed, the bonus pack sells on its own for $13.99; 0 of the 3 cards are worth more than that.
Purple: worth more than a sealed bonus pack. Dotted lines: the pack's average (every card equally likely) and the sealed pack's market price; the chart on the right follows both week by week.

How this is worked out
- Contents: Bandai's product page (125 reprint cards, 4 Freedom Ascension booster packs, 10 resources, 2 tokens, a bonus pack). Copies of each card from a community photo of the opened box, unofficial (reposted on a retailer's listing of the 125 cards): Bandai doesn't publish them. Each colour's nine cards add up to 25, as Bandai describes, but the copies of each could differ from the real box.
- Prices are TCGPlayer market prices for Near Mint English cards. Selling singles costs fees and postage, and cards worth a few cents rarely sell one at a time, so the cards are worth less than this to someone opening boxes to sell.
- The card value counts the bonus pack at its sealed market price ($13.99), since it can be sold unopened. Opened, each of its 3 possible cards counts as equally likely: $6.53 on average.
