does this theory work?

[StainLss]

recently i have been trying to figure out a mathimatical way to buy boxes. to see if its worth you money bv wise. heres what i have come up with. lmk what you all think.

take the price of the box, lets say its $100 to make it easy.

then take the lowest priced hit in the box (because your atleast going to get that theoreticaly). lets says its 8

multiply that by the number of hits lets say you get 3

so right now you are going to get atleast 24 dollars worth in hits

divide the cost of the hits by the cost of the box 24/100 and you get .24
the closer to the number one you get the better the box 1 being the "perfect box"

does this make sence?



btw you could also add the rookies and base but that would get more complicated and probably make every box a perfect box.

i like it its a good way to see how well u did on a box

Just create a ratio of box cost to the value of the contents. Just make sure you use the same formula every time. Standardize what is to be included (autos, jerseys, rookies over a given value), how value is determined (low book, high book, Ebay sale rate). So a box that cost $100 with $62 value would be rated .62. A box that cost $100 with $247 value would be 2.47
A rating of 1.0 is break even.
Neat idea.

Wow, this is taking the hobby to a different area than I want it to go. it is a good idea but not one I would use. If I start using something like this I am getting out of the hobby.
