The case is worth $60
Going extremely conservative, the 10 non slabbed cards would fetch about $100 on eBay total
That's $250
Say the original 1/1 sketch card is worth $100
Now we got $350
The KB scratch was a loser = $0
4 of the 10 slabbed cards had a resale of $10-15 each
2 might get $20 each
2 might get $30 each
2 might be $250 each
Total value estimate was $1100, so ROI about 39%
I have about 150 2014 Bowman Chrome Autos and more than a 5k box of unsorted cards. Since I never pulled a Urias, KB, Betts, or any big color in all the boxes I opened so I am thinking if I spent 20 hours sorting, listing, and trying to sell lots, I might get the same ROI before resale labor is included further lowering my ROI. I was extremely unlucky on that product, just as he was unlucky with this product.
Considering each box of prospect rush starts at a minimum of $250 before a single card is contained, I bet you can't find a box worth less than $900 resale value which would be a 33% ROI. Much better than a lotto ticket and much better than most cases of cards.

Only responding to this to comment that most lotteries I've seen (powerball, sctratchoff, etc) actually have ~60% of the total ticket value paid out, overall. No idea where you are getting that 33% is "much better than a lotto ticket."
