Title: TxP cards
Post by: Maynid on February 10, 2011, 07:54:17 PM: 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?

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..

Try a book? I never counter bend.

Pressing them between two thick volumes is the best recourse.

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! :)
