Pack contents simulated from Wizards' published collector-booster collation (via MTGJSON). Sealed cost uses TCGplayer low (via TCGCSV); cards are valued at the lowest real market signal — TCGplayer (last sale when one exists, else low) or Cardmarket (via Scryfall) — so a lone unsold listing can't inflate a card. Cards under a small bulk threshold count as $0. Prices refresh daily and are estimates — not financial advice.

The Hobbit: Surge foil pull rate

In The Hobbit collector boosters (12 packs per box), you can expect about 0.299 surge foil cards per box - roughly 0.025 per pack. That works out to a 25.8% chance of pulling at least one surge foil card per box, or about 1 in 4 for your first hit. The chase end is often The One Ring (about 1 in 27 for that specific printing).

Rainbow surge-foil treatment on chase slots. Pull rates vary by set; often split across a dedicated slot and foil booster-fun slots.
