CARD TYPES
MONSTER SPELL TRAP

Super Rare (SR) | Non-foil name, foil card.
Ultra Rare (SR) | Gold name, foil.
Ultimate Rare (UtR) | Gold and embossed name, foil.
Ghost Rare (GR) | Silver name, pale art.
Holographic Rare (HGR) | Silver name, pale art. (Japanese version of Ghost Rare).
Platinum Rare (PlR) | Platinum name, foil.
Alternate/Starlight Rare (AltR) | White name, special horizontally-lined foil.

SECRET RARES
Standard secret rares are have distinctive rainbow-colored card names, but can have some variationsin the title's font color. (The odds of obtaining a secret rare are 1:23).

Secret Rare (ScR) | Holographic rainbow card name.
Prismatic Secret Rare (PScR) | Foil uses horizontal and vertical pattern rather than diagonal.
Extra Secret Rare (EScR) | Applies Secret Rare pattern over whole card.
Platinum Secret Rare (PlScR) | Platinum card name, foil art.

Secret Ultra Rare - misprint (ScUR) | Gold name, Secret foil image.
10000 Secret Rare (10000ScR) | Black name, Secret foil image.

GOLD RARES
Gold rares bear a shiny golden font and holographic sheen. Again, it's a cool look, but when mixed with other rarities, it's easy to see how confusing the system gets—you're not just distinguishing between gold rares and secret rares, but also gold secret rares.

Gold Rare (GUR) | Gold name with reflective sheen image.
Gold Secret Rare (GScR) | Gold Rare name with Secret Rare texture.
Ghost/Gold Rare (GGR) | Gold-outlined name with Ghost Rare image.
Premium Gold Rare (PGR) | Ultra Rare with thick golden frame.

PARALLEL RARES
"Parallel Rare" is a generic term for completely-holographic card. Parallel rares make the entire surface of a card (not just the name or artwork) holographic, leading to a "hazy" look. Normal parallel rares are actually glossed-up versions of commons.

Parallel Rares (Normal, Super, Ultra, Holographic, Secret and Extra Secret) | each of these cards will come in a very hazy coating.
Starfoil Rare (SFR) | Star pattern surface.
Mosaic Rare (MSR) | Square pattern surface.
Shatterfoil Rare (SHR) | Shattered glass-esque surface.
Collectors Rare (CR) | Rainbow reflective surface.
Millennium Rare (CR) | Vertical Egyptian hieroglyphics and grainy particles.
