Rarity

As a collectible card game, the Naruto CCG is primarily distributed through randomized booster packs, each containing a selection of cards. The amount of cards in each pack and the ratio of different Rarities changed from set to set, but generally speaking, the following Rarities are as follows:


 * Common are the most abundant type and make up the bulk of what is in a booster pack. They will have no dots on the bottom of the card.
 * Uncommon have one dot at the bottom of the card, and appear at a slightly lower rate than Commons, usually 2-3 per pack.
 * Rare will have two dots at the bottom of the card. For many 1st Edition printings, the name will also be in gold foil, unless it is a Parallel Foil. Often there is one Rare or higher card per booster pack
 * Super Rare has three dots at the bottom of the card, and typically have a gold foil sheen to the cards.

Other Rarities
In addition to the types of Rarities found in Booster Packs, there are other kinds of cards that can be found through other means.
 * Starter cards can only be obtained through the purchase of Starter Deck and are designated by one red dot at the bottom of a card.
 * Promo cards have a PR in the card number. Typically, Promo cards are obtained through fixed means, such as coming with the purchase of a special tin or awarded through Organized Play & Tournaments.

Trivia

 * In the first three original sets, there were exactly 2 Super Rare cards per booster box. Unfortunately, the location of each was fixed at the bottom of the stack, meaning that if a player were to find a freshly opened box at a game store, they could take the bottom booster pack from the two stacks in the box and obtain all the Super Rares in the box, leaving the rest of the packs with lower value cards for other players. Due to player backlash, this issue was fixed in later sets, with Super Rares being distributed randomly throughout the packs.
