What is unusual about this drop
The most valuable priced card here is Ashnod's Altar at $48.79. Only 1 of this drop’s 4 cards have a market price, so there is no honest way to say what share of the total that is, because the percentage would measure the gaps rather than the spread.
The Secret Lair printings in this drop carry a 3.48× treatment premium, which is what they are worth against $14.04 for the cheapest ordinary printing of the same card. It is measured over the cards that have prices on both sides, so it is a like-for-like ratio even where the totals above are not.
What the same cards cost without the art
The one priced card in this drop can be bought in its cheapest ordinary printing for about $14.04, against $48.79 for the Secret Lair versions. That difference is what you are paying for the treatment. The gameplay is identical, and every card here is legal in exactly the same formats either way.

How these numbers are worked out
The release price is what Wizards of the Coast charged for the drop when it was on sale. The singles total is the sum of TCGplayer market prices for the exact printings the drop shipped, not for ordinary copies of the same cards, which come to a different and usually much smaller number (shown above as the plain-copy comparison). The multiple is one divided by the other.
Two things it deliberately does not do. It does not price sealed copies: once a drop leaves the store its sealed price is set by the secondary market, and that is a different question from whether buying it at release paid off. And it does not adjust for inflation. The multiple is nominal, so a return earned over six years is not directly comparable to the same figure earned over one.
Card prices refresh weekly and this page is rewritten only when its numbers actually move, so the date above is the real one rather than today’s.
