Why two values? The first counts every card at its market price. The second leaves out cards under $1, which are priced on paper but rarely sell, so it's closer to what a pack's cards could realistically sell for.

Is it worth opening?
On average, a Surging Sparks Booster Pack holds about $3.50 in cards at market prices. About $1.56 of that comes from cards worth under $1, which are priced on paper but rarely sell, so counting only cards worth $1 or more the average is $1.94. Cards worth $10 or more make up 36% of the full average, and about 1 in 31 packs has one.
We don't track store prices for sealed packs, so compare these averages with what you would actually pay. Market prices are TCGplayer estimates, not offers, and selling cards costs fees and shipping. The pull rates are community estimates, so treat every number here as approximate.
