A "hit" is a notably valuable or rare card pulled from a pack — the card people are hoping for when they open product. Depending on the game or brand, hits include autographs, memorabilia/relic cards, low-numbered parallels, short prints, and top chase cards. Because hits are seeded at long odds, most packs contain commons and only occasional hits, which is the gamble behind ripping sealed product. A "big hit" usually means a card worth far more than the pack or box cost. If you want a specific valuable card rather than gambling on odds, buying it as a single is typically cheaper than chasing it through packs.
