Hi gang.

I've recently bought a few boxes of the Chinese edition cards. Namely the Gem 1's and the 151 Journey. I had such a great experience opening them, they are beautiful - so many variations on the holo patterns we see in the West.

A question - because they're mostly (all?) holo cards, my entire collection is bent/warped (you know how the holo cards do..), Does anybody have any tips on this - how to straighten them out? I live in Australia and it's quite humid. The stack was only out on my desk for maybe an hour tops and they'll all bent in that classic reverse holo way..

Thanks in advance. Even popping them in an Ultimate Guard binder - I can still see the bends against the sleeve.

Even if you straighten them out, if it's humid, they will likely bend again. I think it's just an unfortunate consequence of the climate. Luckily it doesn't affect grading and shouldn't really affect value either.
