Best Values Per Item
Best Historical Value only accounts for one item being in the boxes. Calculations have ignored other items in the boxes. Items that are cheaper in the shop are marked with *. Note that this list does not include special boxes outside of the extremely commonly recurring box that contains 1-3 Remote Raid Passes for 1 coin.
