Is there any way that you all have found to keep foils from curving like they naturally do? I love the look of foils and am starting to get quite a few pricey ones that I don't want to curve.

Keep them double-sleeved or in a binder and they should be fine.

Keep them out of extreme heat or cold temperatures. From experience they bend one way because of heat and another way because of being cold. They should be fine in a binder though. I had foils shipped to me in starter deck boxes before that curved being shipped in the mail but it didn't damage the card by any means.

I've had no problems just sticking them in my binder. If you do leave them out, make sure it isn't too long on hot/cold days. I have foils sitting on my desk that curved in a matter of a couple hours because of the humidity.

If you want to really take the curve out of them, double sleeve them and put them under a dictionary or two. Give it a day and it'll be as flat as a nonfoil basic land! Or put it in a binder with lots of cards in it, that works too.

Humidity. I moved to a dry state and all my foils flattened out.
