Which Lorcana Cards Should You Grade?
Not sure whether to grade Lorcana cards from your collection? As a dedicated UK Lorcana grading service, we see the same chase cards submitted time and again — and knowing what to look for helps you protect the pieces that matter most.
We grade Lorcana cards from every English-language set, including The First Chapter, Rise of the Floodborn, Into the Inklands, Ursula’s Return, Shimmering Skies, Azurite Sea and Reign of Jafar. The cards most worth grading tend to be:
- Enchanted rares — the alternate-art, full-bleed cards such as the First Chapter Enchanted Elsa that command the highest prices.
- Legendary cards — powerful, beautifully illustrated legends with strong collector demand.
- Super Rares and foils — cold-foil and rare foils where surface and centring separate a good copy from a flawless one.
- Promos and gift-set exclusives — limited cards where authentication and preservation add real buyer confidence.
Because Lorcana foils are prone to surface scratches and edge whitening, professional Lorcana grading is one of the best ways to lock in condition and value. Whether you own a single Enchanted rare or a full set, Imperium makes it simple to grade Lorcana cards here in the UK.
