Lotus ScanBest MTG Scanner for Showcase Frame Cards Cards
Learn why Showcase Frame Cards cards are challenging to scan and how to get the best results with the right app.
Showcase frame cards are one of Magic: The Gathering's most creative innovations, featuring completely reimagined card frames and art styles that change with every set. From the storybook frames of Throne of Eldraine to the comic-book style of Ikoria, the Mystical Archive treatments of Strixhaven, and the stained-glass saga frames of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, each set introduces a visually distinct showcase treatment. These dramatic visual departures from the standard Magic card layout make showcase frames some of the most eye-catching and collectible cards in the game, but they also present a serious challenge for card scanning technology. Because every set uses a different showcase frame design, scanners must continuously learn entirely new visual layouts rather than relying on a single template. Lotus Scan stays ahead of this challenge by updating its recognition models with every new set release, ensuring that even the most unusual showcase frames are identified accurately and priced correctly.

Tips for Scanning Showcase Frame Cards Cards
- 1When scanning showcase frame cards, ensure the entire card is visible including all decorative frame elements, as these unique borders are key identification signals for Lotus Scan.
- 2Showcase foils from Collector Boosters tend to have heavier reflections due to the ornate frame designs. Use diffused lighting or scan at a slight angle to minimize glare on metallic frame elements.
- 3If you are sorting cards from a set with multiple showcase styles, scan them one at a time to ensure each distinct showcase treatment is correctly classified.
- 4For Mystical Archive showcase cards from Strixhaven, remember that the Japanese and English versions have entirely different artwork and frames, so verify the language variant matches your card.
- 5Group your showcase cards by set before scanning large batches, as this makes it easier to verify that the scanner is returning the correct set-specific showcase treatment.
