The rarity ladder, one real card each
Weiss Schwarz Rarity Guide: Every Rarity Listed, From C to SEC+
Updated September 27, 2026
The short answer
Weiss Schwarz rarities run from commons (C, U) and rares (R, RR, RRR, SR) up to the chase tiers: SP, SSP, SEC and SEC+. SP (Special Rare) is the classic grail and usually carries a foil-stamped voice-actress signature. In modern English sets SSP, SEC and SEC+ sit above it, and their gold-stamped prints are among the priciest cards in the game. Over-Frame Rares (OFR) and set-specific parallels add alternate foils in between. The table below counts every rarity across the sets we track and shows what each one actually sells for.

The base tiers: C, U, R, RR
Commons and uncommons exist for gameplay, and most sell for pennies. Rares (R) and double rares (RR) are where a character's main artwork usually first appears. An RR is the cheapest way to own a character's key card, and RRs from landmark sets can carry a small premium.
Climax cards (CR, CC) and trial-deck cards (TD) are gameplay pieces too, and they sit near the bottom of the price table.
The foil middle: RRR and SR
RRR (Triple Rare) adds foil to key characters. SR (Super Rare) is the game's most common foil: sets print dozens of them, which is why most SRs sell for a few dollars. The SR often shares artwork with the SP above it, which makes it the budget way to own a character's premium art.
RRR+ (Triple Rare Plus) is a newer tier that prices far above plain RRR. Check the table for how wide that gap is.
The chase tiers: SP, SSP, SEC and SEC+
SP (Special Rare) is the defining Weiss Schwarz chase card, usually stamped with the character's voice-actress signature. Modern English sets stack more tiers above it: SSP (Super Special Rare), SEC (Secret Rare) and SEC+ (Secret Rare Plus). Their gold- or silver-stamped versions are among the most valuable prints in the game.
A set prints around twenty SP designs on average in the sets we track, and fewer SSP and SEC+ designs, so these tiers are where a set's waifu value concentrates. The set pages list every one with its current price.
- C / U — gameplay commons
- R / RR — a character's first appearances; RR is the cheap entry rung
- RRR — foil key characters
- SR — the most common foil, and the budget version of premium art
- OFR — Over-Frame Rare: artwork that breaks the card frame
- SP — Special Rare, usually with a stamped voice-actress signature
- SSP / SEC — super-chase tiers above SP in modern sets
- SEC+ — Secret Rare Plus, the newest top tier
Over-Frame Rares and set parallels
Over-Frame Rares (OFR) print the artwork past the card's frame. They sit between the foil middle and the chase tiers, and the best OFRs of popular characters sell for hundreds.
Some sets add their own parallel rarity, named after the series: hololive's HLP, Lycoris Recoil's LRP, BanG Dream!'s BDR, The Quintessential Quintuplets' IGP. These are alternate foils of that set's cards, and they typically sell for two to three times the base version.
What about pull rates?
Pull rates vary by set and by print wave, and we don't publish odds we can't source. A set list tells you how many different SP, SSP or SEC+ designs a set has, not how often each one comes out of a box.
If you want a specific chase card, buying the single is almost always cheaper than chasing it in boxes. The rarity table links each rarity's most valuable card straight to its listing.
Frequently asked questions
- What are the Weiss Schwarz rarities in order?
- From lowest to highest: C (Common), U (Uncommon), R (Rare), RR (Double Rare), RRR (Triple Rare), SR (Super Rare), then the chase tiers SP (Special Rare), SSP (Super Special Rare), SEC (Secret Rare) and SEC+ (Secret Rare Plus). OFR (Over-Frame Rare), RRR+ and set parallels sit alongside these in newer sets.
- What does SP mean in Weiss Schwarz?
- Special Rare, the game's signature chase tier. SPs usually carry a foil-stamped signature of the character's voice actress, and many share artwork with the set's SR.
- What is an SSP or SEC+ in Weiss Schwarz?
- Super Special Rare and Secret Rare Plus: super-chase tiers above SP in modern English sets. Gold- and silver-stamped versions of these are among the most valuable Weiss Schwarz cards on the market.
- What does OFR mean in Weiss Schwarz?
- Over-Frame Rare: a foil whose artwork extends past the card's frame. OFRs sit between the foil middle and the chase tiers in price.
- What's the difference between SR and SP?
- Scarcity and, usually, a signature. An SR is a common foil that sets print by the dozen; an SP of the same character adds the stamped voice-actress signature and far lower print numbers, so the median SP sells for dozens of times the median SR.
