I'm getting destroyed in multiplayer and I'm trying to decide whether or not I should buy some of the cheap 5000 credit packs just so I can hopefully get some new weapons, or if I should save up for one of the rare packs and hope I get something awesome.
However, I have no sense of what kinds of things to expect in the more expensive packs.
What types of rare and uncommon items exist?
Is there a list somewhere that says which items you can get in the rare and uncommon packs, similar to how a game like Magic: The Gathering has a master list of all the cards in a set?
I need to know what's possible so I can make a better informed decision about how to spend the few credits that I actually manage to scrape together.

There are four rarity levels in Mass Effect 3 multiplayer trading card packs.
Recruit Packs and Veteran Packs have the same potential items, though Veteran packs have a better chance at Silver and Gold (like the description says). The only way to get N7 items is from Spectre packs.
Here's the full list of what's what:
Classes
Common:
Uncommon:
Rare:
Note: Opening a class you already have gives an XP boost and unlocks a new customization option.
Weapons
Common:
Uncommon:
Rare:
N7 - Ultra-Rare:
There is also one exception: The Collector Assault Rifle, which is a GOLD, but comes with the art book, so it isn't like the other weapons and it doesn't appear in any of the packs.
Other Items

Uncommon:
Rare:
You can get weapons up to level 10 (X) and mods up to level 5 (V).
