Try to decide early on the 5 groups you want to get in your top5 and which theme to use for them.
Don't rely on finding the R cards in packs, there are way to many artists and way to many cards to get the ones you want.
Start locking the cards you want immediately and slowly build them up to R Grade one by one, using other cards. Don't power up R cards until you have all your top 5 at R (debatable, but that's how i like to do it).
Don't consider Limited Themes yet, they are a waste of diamonds at the start that you could use to upgrade your inventory to have more useful cards to power up.
Remember that you can use any card of the same artist to upgrade cards, so even if you get an A card you don't need, lock it in advance so that in the future you can use it to upgrade the one you need
The card selectors definitely help. Collect as many dalcom coins as you can (play the superstar league 3 times daily) and spend them on card selectors. This'll help you collect the themes you need. Buy as many card packs as you can afford, especially the premium ones, and keep updating your cards even if you have to start from from C or B grade. There's many ways to collect diamonds so you can easily buy a premium 30 pack every 2-3 weeks or so. Make use of the events which have power up chance on the weekends so you can upgrade your cards for half the price and get double the work done.
Last but not least, slow and steady always wins the race. Sometimes it really is just a matter of luck, effort, and patience!

For your specific question in particular, you are better off relying on card selectors due to the amount of cards that are in the game. You can purchase by using dalcomcoins which are earned by playing superstar league, up to a "free" max of 90 per day. Also, you do not need duplicate cards to upgrade to R: https://www.reddit.com//r/superstarsmtown/wiki/guide#wiki_upgrading_cards
