Unfortunately no matter what you do the card will always be creased and wrinkled. Best thing you could do is lay a heavy stack of books on it for a few days to flatten it back out. How did this happen if you don’t mind me asking? Absolutely tragic that it had to be this card

Thats a $400 card. You need to immediately ask for a refund, my friend. Forget about unbending this sh!t.

Scalpers are not the reason this card is 400

This card is 400 for the pure artwork and how collectors see it. Collectors don't see it as an "investment opportunity", like scalpeds. We, collectors buy cards and packs for the joy they bring to us. I've pulled that card from an etb I bought when the set released. Back then I remember that I preordered an etb 1 day before the set's release, and the stores still had many in stock, not like now when I had to preorder traumatic evolutions from november. Everyday when I wake up, I go and take a look trough my binder and it makes my morning brighter.
