Should we retrieve data once or twice?

Currently, we access card information when the game class is instantiated. The selected ID order is passed to 'single_player_end' using the POST method. However, only the order is passed, and not the rest of the information (such as the correct order or the year values). With these IDs, we retrieve the database again to evaluate the game's result.
Is it a better option (in terms of good practices, security, costs, efficiency...) to make only one request with all the information and then proceed through all the steps?

Start by tracing where card information is loaded during game-class instantiation and where the selected ID order reaches single_player_end through POST. Compare the data available at each step, including the database lookup and the security, cost, and efficiency trade-offs. Done requires a decided retrieval approach and an agreed scope for changing this flow.
