    Making them flat may take away from the value...don't know this for a fact, but I would guess since all are this way, a difference in them would be looked down upon by other collectors...

    That's the way they've always come out of the pack since the first time they released them in 96, so it never really bothered me...i guess i just got use to it

    Put them in a microwave oven for about 1 minute that outta take care of it

    Really....i dont believe there is a remedy for it, like some have mentioned they have always been like this since the first release, Gotta take into consideration that the card has a artificial layer of gloss and im sure its heated or warm when they layer it on then it dry's which causes the card to bow a little on the backside now im not 100% on there procedure but at least that's what i think.

    I think trying to "unbend" the card would take away from its value.

    You can flatten them out a little, but be VERY careful in doing so as to not cause creases. Been there, done that, straightened out a few without problems and also bent some others in the process.

    The bend bothers me too for some reason, for all my nocioni finest rc/autos I ended up putting them in a top loader and then putting that under 3 heavy textbooks.... for a week. usually seems okay and none of the cards were hurt in the process. It didn't rtake all the bend out though, so maybe if you leave it there for even longer it'll work better
