When they were first introduced in the ''TCG'', Ultimate Rare cards often only had partial foil on the Card artwork, usually the background. Starting partially in ''[[Soul of the Duelist]]'' and from ''[[Enemy of Justice]]'' onwards, the entire picture would be embossed in foil. From ''[[Duelist Revolution]]'' onward, the card border and the lore text border are embossed in foil as well. Also, with the introduction of [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum Monsters]], the [[Pendulum Scale|Pendulum Scales]] are embossed in foil too.
On the internet market, Ultimate Rare Cards cards are often much more valuable than others, even if their effectiveness in the game is only above average. However, Ultra Rare versions of cover cards are usually more popular than that of their Ultimate Rare counterparts. Also, some Ultimate Rare cards have a pattern in their foiling, such as stripes in fire, or a curvy pattern in some backgrounds. While subtle, it's a neat an interesting addition to some Ultimate Rares.
Starting with ''[[Breakers of Shadow]]'', Ultimate Rares are moving exclusively to tournament packs.<ref name="booster">{{cite web|url=https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=7413|title=Booster Pack Changes in 2016|last=Tewart|first=Kevin|authorlink=Kevin Tewart|publisher=[[Konami]]|accessdate=September 17, 2015}}</ref>
