TxP cards

Love the idea of the foil card...however, when in a deck, it is noticeable because of the bend in the card...even in a sleeve, it stands out while shuffling.  Does anybody have success flattening these cards out, or is this just a "deal with it" issue?

I'll take counter bending for 200, Alex....

How do I do this?  I have tried just with my hands, but doesn't seem to bend evenly...I guess I am worried about creasing it...or maybe I have to do it multiple times..

Pressing them between two thick volumes is the best recourse.

Calc textbooks are the best for this.  Although a big Bible is also appropriate.

Yeah, counter-bending can have disastrous results if not done precisely correct.

What I do is put them in a hard sleeve. That usualy does the trick. And I agree that a book is just as good!  :)
