Hi guys,

After buying a ton of the '10 Bowman I have noticed a trend among the chrome cards. Alot of them seem to be bent or twisted, any ideas on how to handle the situation without ruining my horde? Thanks in advance

I was once told to stick a row of 5 x 5 on a cookie sheet and stick them in the oven @ 200 degrees F. True story.

ah!
Heat is the enemy of chrome.
I had a handful of packs in my car for a few days (in Arizona) and I think in a couple more days they might have actually turned into tubes.

Haven't found a way to make them flat, but a cool dry place should keep flat ones flat.

I have always had a problem with Chrome's doing this. Flex the card back the other way just a bit, then put in a snug top loader, put on a table, and then stack several books on top of it (hardback books for more weight). And seriously leave it there for like a week...but, you know, don't forget about it.

stuff a 50 count snap tight with enough to leave room for a white blunt from donruss packs at the top and bottom.
snap shut and tape as tight as u can. a month later they will be flat :D

I just keep mine in penny sleeves(they are a mother when it comes to surface damage) and then stuff as many as I can into a 500 count box. Keep em packed tight and they tend not to curl. They never have a chance.
