So I bought 2 foils and they were shipped without a top loader, sleeve or any kind of protective covering. Flimsy, easily bendable cardboard was used to "stabilize" the cards. One was a foil Iona so the cards in question weren't cheap. Anyhow, they came in extremely warped. Both foils are warped such that the ne and sw parts of the card are MUCH higher. They are not sleeve playable as of now because they are easily detectable in a deck. You can basically cut to either card 100% of the time. Is there a way to flatten these cards out that doesnt involve ironing them out?


Thanks in advance for any help.

Normally putting them under a bunch of books or weight with two flat surfaces on the top and bottom of the card work.

Perfect sleeve them, then sleeve them in a regular sleeve, then put them under a dictionary or two.

I always just bend them the other way to even it out.
