You can nudge up the totals a touch to account for those. I assume a 70/30 ratio of Live to Historical cards at all levels.
Based on the average L10s, Standard packs have a 123% efficiency for the value of the cards which gives a 111% efficiency when you sell the cards at the current L10 minus the 10% tax. Based on the median L10s the efficiency is a solid 95% with an 85% accounting for the tax on sales.
Based on the average L10s, Silver Packs have a 110% efficiency (99% after the tax on sales). Based on the median L10s those are 85% and 75%.
Gold packs are almost identical to Silvers with 112% efficiency (101% after tax) based on the average L10s and 85% efficiency (77% after tax) based on the median L10s.
