Heya All. I am struggling to find a method to "unbend" some of the new foil etched and normal foil cards. I have seen solutions with heating and pressing the cards but, it doesn't work, at least not for me. so, the question is: Is there any way to fix my bend cards or do I have to suffer from taking out some of my cards from div decks because the cards simply is too bend? Please all, help me out here.. Kind Regards Peter
Hi Peter! I'm no expert on this, but there is a video from Tolarian Community College, who is always awesome, about curling. It may not solve the problem entirely, but maybe helps a bit.

I guess the big thing is that because the curling comes from humidity changes, heating and pressing may only provide a short term fix. Also, if you are trying to dehumidify, it may take time to see an effect. I do notice that my cards bend and unbend with the seasons.
Anyways, good luck. It's a huge issue with newer sets and hopefully you can get some of those cads back into use.

Put them in a stack of basic lands and stand it up so the cards get bent back
