Starter Deck 04: SEED Strike (ST04): is it worth it?
A sealed Starter Deck 04: SEED Strike sells for $39.91. Its card value is $57.23: the 50-card deck $26.44, the bonus pack $25.98 sealed, tokens and resources $4.81. So the deck sells for 30% less than its card value.
Card value is the 50 cards, tokens and resources at market prices, plus the sealed bonus pack's market price (or without it, when the bonus pack is excluded). Premium / discount is the sealed deck's price against that: above 0 it costs more than its cards. Each week uses every latest price up to that week.
The 50-card deck: $26.44

The bonus pack: $17.53 on average
The pack holds one full-art holo of one of the deck's 16 cards. Bandai doesn't publish the odds, so each counts as 1 in 16: on average the pack is worth $17.53, but 12 of the 16 are worth less than that and the top two (Aile Strike Gundam, Aegis Gundam) carry 59% of the value. Sealed, the bonus pack sells on its own for $25.98; 3 of the 16 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 (a 50-card deck, 10 resources, 8 tokens, a bonus pack). Copies of each card from the ExBurst official starter list, since Bandai doesn't list them.
- 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 decks to sell.
- The card value counts the bonus pack at its sealed market price ($25.98), since it can be sold unopened. Opened, each of its 16 possible cards counts as equally likely: $17.53 on average.
