Has anyone found a way to fix bent/wrinkled cards for basics? Just traded for a Wyatt with the chase belt. I was told ahead of time the card was bent. I went ahead with the deal but I would like to know if there is some what to fix the creasing on the card.

No way to really fix it. You can put something heavy on it (like weights) to flatten it out, but the crease will still be present.

Don't touch it. It'll make it worse

I've laid text books on the card on a hard flat surface for days. Eventually it just goes back to being warped/bent.

No way to unbend a piece of paper.

Well, devil be damned..... I'm going to keep this figure on the card regardless but I may go by walmart and see if I can find some  ed up card basics to experiment on. |

Lay a tea towel over the card and on a GENTLE heat run an iron over it, check and repeat it will flatten, do it on a hard surface and LOW heat

Way to fix it is open the figure and throw away the package and keep it loose

Now that I think about it, it would be awesome to have a full plastic packaging. Less chance of bend and water resistant. But it would cost way more.

Rub the crease with baby oil, then let it marinate in the sun for three hours.
Your figure will be good as new, minty fresh.
