"Chase cards" are the most desirable, hardest-to-pull cards in a set — the ones collectors actively hunt. They're usually rare parallels, short prints, autographs, low-numbered inserts, or standout alternate-art cards, and they drive much of a set's secondary-market value. Because they're pulled at long odds from packs, chase cards can be far more valuable than a box's average contents, which is part of the appeal (and gamble) of ripping sealed product. If you want a specific chase card without the odds, buying it as a single is usually the more efficient route than opening boxes hoping to hit it.
