How to open a Palworld booster pack (and what's inside)

A Palworld Official Card Game booster pack from Dawn of Palpagos (EBP01) holds 7 cards: four Commons, two Uncommons and one hit slot that always contains an R or better, including parallel rare treatments. Twelve packs (84 cards) make a booster box.

How Palworld cards are graded — and why perfect 10s are rare

Graders score a Palworld card on four sub-grades — centering, corners, edges and surface — then weight the weakest sub-grade most heavily for the overall number. Pal Stars uses the same maths on every pull, so a flawless Gem Mint 10 lands on roughly 1.2% of cards and most raw pulls settle at Mint 9 or Near Mint–Mint 8.

Best Palworld cards to chase when opening packs

The highest-value Palworld pulls are the SSS Ultra Secret Gold Card, the SSP parallels of Jormuntide Ignis and the other headline Pals, and the OSR (Over Super Rare) alternate arts — those three tiers carry almost all of a box's secondary-market value.
