One slab a pack. Special Series packs run from $50 to $400. Hit rates are per named card, and the help centre says a pulled card is “replaced with another card of similar value”.
It publishes a hit rate for each card, but no value bands with a stated average. Try the pack simulator on an app that publishes its odds and its sell-back rate.
Is the sell-back offer fair?
Set a card value. The bars show what the same card returns on every app that publishes a rate.
Arena Club offers

Three places where the terms and the help centre word the same rule differently.
≠“Digital Wallet balances cannot be funded by Arena Club directly, and cannot be redeemed or transferred outside the Platform.”
Arena Club terms, section 8
Help centre: funds move to Stripe Connect, then to a “bank account or debit card”. The same section of the terms says funds can be withdrawn “through Stripe at any time”.
