What is an alt art card?
An alternate art is a second printing of the same card with different artwork, usually at a higher rarity and a far lower pull rate. The gameplay text is identical; the art is the entire product. That is why alt arts dominate waifu collecting — they are the prints where illustrators are given room, and where character collectors and players want the same card for different reasons.
Naming differs by game: One Piece calls them alternate art or parallel, Weiss Schwarz uses SP and SSP, Union Arena uses star rarities, Riftbound uses Showcase. All describe the same idea — the premium print of a card that also exists in a plain version.
