Anyone have any experience with this? The main reason I ask: do they grade down if the foils have curvature? It can be remedied with a quick trip to the freezer, but I don't know if I need to bother with that. Plus there are environmental factors during shipping that might undo that work.

Could you tell me more about fixing curvature in foils?

I have read that popping it in the freezer will do it. The issue is that one side of the card expands and causes the curve. If you freeze it, it contracts. I bet dehumidifying it would have a similar results, just not as rapidly.
