I don't have too many SNK cards, but if I have the means just to clear up who can support folks like T. Hawk, it might be worth doing in a throwaway match.
If you use an SNK card to backup a Capcom one (or vice versa) the ??? goes away. The star is just a marker to show that you've done that backup before. Just a completionist thing that the game tracks for your that doesn't do anything mechanically.

Short of some very specific backups (like how M. Bison's ability works), your late game deck will likely have no D-ranks and maybe on C-rank card. B-ranks tend to have some of the best ability/BP/SP balances, A-ranks tend to have good abilities but things not quite as good as B-ranks (but not all the time), and then S-ranks tend to have either incredible BP and no ability (like Geese who has 1500) or just alright BP (like 500) and a really nuts ability (SFA Chun-Li for example).
