Gundam Card Game Rarity Guide
Every Gundam Card Game card prints at a rarity — the letter next to the card number in the top-right corner of the card. This is the full ladder: what each rarity means, how many cards we track at it, and a link to its complete card list. The chase pages are Legend Rare and SP: the alt-art versions of those cards carry most of a set's value.
All Gundam Card Game rarities
| Rarity | Code | What it means | Cards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | C | The base rarity — the bulk of every booster set and the everyday pool decks are built from. | 382 |
| Uncommon | U | A small step up from Common; still pulled frequently from booster packs. | 144 |
| Rare | R | Pulled less often than Uncommons; many playable staples sit at this rarity. | 130 |
| Legend Rare | LR | The top of the booster rarity ladder — each set's marquee mobile suits, with LR+ and LR++ alt-art chase versions. | 68 |
| SP (Special) | SP | Special alt-art reprints that appear in a LATER set's boosters with the original card number — rare pulls and strong chase cards. | 12 |
| Promo | P | Promotional printings from events, organized play, and product tie-ins — outside the booster rarity ladder. | 70 |
Counts are cards (distinct numbers). SP counts cards with an SP printing — SP versions are reprints of existing cards, not new card numbers.
How the alt-art versions work
Beyond the base ladder, most sets add chase versions of existing cards: a + after the rarity (C+, U+, R+, LR+) marks an alternate-art foil of the same card number, and ++ (LR++) marks an even scarcer special version. SP printings go one step further — they are special reprints of cards from earliersets, inserted into a later set's boosters with the original card number. On this site every version is listed on its card's page under printings, each with its own price.
