What makes a card a chase card?

A chase card is the card collectors open packs hoping to hit — the intersection of low pull rate, standout artwork, and market demand. In Base Set 2 (2000), that means the cards above: they consistently command the highest prices in the set , often from the secret-rare slots beyond the 130-card printed checklist.

Prices on this page follow live market data and re-rank automatically as the market moves. For a full view of Base Set 2, explore the checklist, price guide, or browse by rarity and type.
