how the cards are

[vexx]

how do the cards go by the lettering i mean i know some of them like the rare and the ultra rare gold but how can you tell if it is a super rare or secret rare or secret super rare and so forth an which is the rarets and what does sp,ssp mean in yougioh cards?

[pitt12177]

well...from my knowledge and playing the game for like 3 years (stopped though), im not sure how u tell how its rare but it has something to do with the color of the Card's lettering, if its a holo (holographic), and sometimes, below the image of the card, it will say its rareatisty (is that a word lol)...i think ultra rare is the rarest although im not sure...maybe someone could clarify that a little better

[BloodRunsCold]

black colered letter are normal,holos are holo rare cards,silver is super rare and gold is ultra rare the cards you get out of a game are super-secret rare cards

there is no such thing as super secret rare and secret rare is the rarest types of cars u can get
