Not a ruling question, but a question none the less.

- I am a bit confused on holo cards (My main game is pokemon where now a days c/u/r cards come in a normal form which could be holo or not and also reverse holo, with SR card only coming in holographic but can be regular art, full art, alternate art, ect.)

Looking at the 'card inventory' it seems that:
- Ghostfiles has cards that come in one form, either not holo (C,U,R) and holo (ST, U, G).
- Dark Tournament introduces what I would call "reverse" holos where c/u/r now also have a holo form in addition to the non holo.
- Gateway further breaks it down with some cards have a non holo version then two holo versions (single and double) while the rest of the set has non holo and three holo types (line, shatter, cloudy)
- Exile, Betrayal, and Alliance return to simplicity with some cards only having holo versions with the rest coming in holo and non holo

Is that correct? hope that even made sense.

Also, I got some Exile(?) packs and pulled ST cards from them, I though ST stood for starter...

I'll provide the answer. Score had no idea what they wanted to do with Yu Yu Hakusho at any time, that's why everything is a mess and has no real consistency.

Ghost Files only has the Spirit Rares, Uber Rares, and Ghost Rares as holo; this also holds true for Spirit Pack 1. The 24 starter deck cards that are in the sealed pack also come as foil, with the exception of ST9/176 Yusuke who is available as a non-foil in the demo decks. However, there were 10 cards reprinted from Ghost Files in the Gateway set that share the set ID and look of the Ghost Files cards, in the foil patterns of Gateway (Cloudy, Lined, Jagged).

Dark Tournament is when the game took shape, and all cards have a foil variant. Ghost, Uber, Spirit, Rare, Common all come in foil. In addition, all promos and spirit pack tournament cards are foil, same with the tournament league cards. Dark Tournament "good" cards share the same wavy foil pattern, rare and common cards have a muted foil pattern similar to the Ghost Files starter deck cards.

Gateway is a mess, plain and simple. There are 3 foil patterns in the normal set for the 'good' cards, Cloudy, Lined, Jagged. Rares and Commons can be either Single Rainbow, or Double Rainbow foil. League cards can be single rainbow or double rainbow foil, the Kuwabara box topper can be single or double rainbow. A few promo cards can be single and double (Crazy World, Head-On Assault, and I think there's another I'm forgetting). The rest can only be single rainbow. Spirit Pack 3 cards can be Cloudy, Lined, Jagged, or Double Rainbow.

Exile, Betrayal, and Alliance all are simple. Except a few things with Exile. Exile promos are all non-foil, as well as the team leader cards at the end of the checklist all labeled "ST[num]" because they were planned to be in scrapped starter decks. Exile is also the last of the league sets, but the league cards are all foil unlike the other promos. Spirit pack 4 is also all foil.

Betrayal is simple, all promos foil, all spirit pack cards foil, common/rare flat foils, good cards pretty foil. No league set.

Alliance has everything with the same flat foil. No spirit pack, no league set, no promos.

You forget Hiei, Determined Warrior for Gateway DR foil Promo

Also, we technically have DR of the S/U/G/Reprint/Team Leader/Hiei Preview/Join a League card in Gateway but that's getting super technical, haha. Gateway is such a mess honestly.

The team bonus inserts in Alliance cannot be foil.

I had the full intention to make a specific note, but I rambled into the other sets.
