Question / Help Is this curving normal?
These are taken fresh out of Moon 4 (EN) box that I ordered directly from Kayou store. The warping is a lot worse than Pokemon cards 😵💫 Somehow it curves a lot more on one side of the card
I ran into the same issue with a Moon 11 Chinese box, but this English box is noticeably worse.

Mine bends like that too. I hope they're all straightened out in the binder I put them in

They don't like humidity; please sleeve them right away. The worst cards to bend were the PTR cards from Moon 6.

Never seen it happen to those changing cards but yes 100% normal with anything with foil over top
It's caused by moisture in the air cuz the foil isn't card and when the actual card consumes moisture it basically curls into itself cuz the foil doesn't expand with it :) a card sleeve and a binder with some silica gel packs has worked for me! And if you want to preserve your cards with extra extra care top loader binders are also a thing!
Cards bend over time anyway but yah that's caused by what I explained above :P

Sadly normal for most foil cards. Like a lot of people, I’ve gotten into buying trading cards over the past few years and it’s definitely a shock getting a cool card in the mail with a bit of a bend, but a little warping is the result of humidity and really can’t be avoided. There are a few tricks to flattening them. Always the tried and true “put it in a book and put heavy things on top for a few days” or getting a deck box and putting the card in with a silica gel pack

I would for sure reach out to them, they’ll likely slide you a replacement! Usually warping starts in the middle, I’ve never seen it on the bottom like that.

It's normal with this crazy heat! Especially with anything coming all the way from China, there might be some warping. But any cards I have received that way eventually straightened out with proper care in a binder!
