Best Way to Unbend TExP Cards

A large majority of my TExP are more bend than the rest of my cards.  I have been unable to flatten them out in or under several heavy textbooks for a days at a time.  Some of mine have slowly flattened somewhat after sitting in deck sleeves with other cards.  What do y'all recommend is the best way to unbend large amounts of them?

Try to bend them back yourself, some times this works for me.

The type of sleeve you use makes a big difference. I picked up my sleeves at a KB Toy store and they are so rigid that even David Beckham couldn't bend them.

Apply 20 amps through two corners of the card.  Either the metallic surface will flatten out completely or the card will go up in flames.  Either way, you've fixed the bending problem.

Another option is to put the cards in the Large Hadron Collider.  not sure if that will fix the bending but I'd sure like to find out what WOULD happen.

As long as it was a hero, you'd probably bring the title character back to life, causing the general resurrection and the end of this world. ;)

This is what I did. It was the only way I found that actually worked. I had to be very careful not to ruin them, though.

the Avatar can card bend too?

I keep mine with all my other cards. which are jam packed in boxes, so...they stay quite flat.
