Chase Card
Chase card (noun): any card collectors specifically hunt when opening a product — the case hits, low-numbered parallels, key rookies, and 1/1s that drive the excitement of ripping packs.
Chase Cards in More Detail
Every product has a chase hierarchy, published in its checklist and odds: the headline inserts, the color ladder, the top rookie class, the grails. Knowing a product's chase cards before you buy is basic due diligence — it's what a box's price is really pricing.
The term is relative: a set's chase card might be a $50 insert or a five-figure Superfractor. If it's the reason people rip the product, it's the chase.
