Calculating overall price of cards from boxes
So I have noticed every time I open a box of 8 cards it does not give me the total value of the whole box. its a minor complaint but I feel it would be nice to know the whole value instead of having to work it out manually myself...as I am very lazy! xD

why you care? you will have a few packs with only really cheap cards, but most of the time you have a bonus and of course with a bit luck expensive cards. what i mean is: you will make profit theoreticly. in the beginning selling looks profitable but for me....i dont care anymore cause my income from sellings stuff is so much more as i could earn with cards. even if you have the luck to get a 17000 card, you first have to find a buyer with enough money. and for this your shoplevel has to be realy hight. there is a good guide for it, take a look^^

Its not like I said its all I care about, just would be nice to know the overall value of each box as its more of a curiosity than necessity.

Write down the total value of your collection before opening a pack.
Subtract that from the new total once you're done opening packs. 1 box, 10 boxes a zillion boxes, doesn't matter.

Yeah I do get that, just its a lot of work. Its not like ive said that the developer must put this into the game or else. Dont understand why people bother commenting negatively to a suggestion post.

Negative comment?
I'm telling you how to do what you want to do in a 10 second process. About the same time it takes to open 2 packs. "it's a lot of work". Okay, sure.

What you mean is: When you open 8 pack (the max you can hold at once), you wish there was a separate screen that showed the value of all the packs or each pack then the total. Almost like a tally screen.
I can see that as someone who might want to keep up with the value as you open a box or more. This could be looked at as also wanting to open more than 8 and then have a tally of the whole box.
My advise would just be to keep a rough whole number in mind for each pack. Then just add after 8 times. I only pay attention when the pack has a 10+ dollar pack or if the packs worth is over 10 dollars.
I get what your asking though

No so I mean just for the boxes that the packs come in, I did not mean the individual packs you buy, as that would be easy to calculate.

The probability is rolled at the time of opening, so there really isn't any purpose of tracking how much you make out of a box versus an individual pack

Did you know that Julius Erving scored 30,026 points in his career, ABA and NBA combined?

I get that there may be no purpose to it, I just mentioned it as a suggestion as it would be a nice feature for them to implement.

They would also need to implement an 'open full box' option too for this. Not a bad idea though

Thank you for acknowledging that my suggestion is not a bad idea, its good to know that some people can state their opinion in a nice way :)
