Default Fairy Dust Booster Pack Problem

So I just recently collected my mail after getting back from vacation and was waiting on a w23 2010 booster pack and other assorted cards but the bonus pack of Fairy Dust Cards were horribly misshapen that I didn't even need to open it to tell these cards were bent C-shaped almost at 45 degress. I don't think I can return it though due to it being a limited quantity thing, what should I do?

There's nothing anyone can do, sorry. We recalled those foil cards years ago when there was a clear problem with curling.

When we uncovered the foil cards and offered them as a bonus it was the curled cards. That's just how they are.

I've heard some people say they had good luck flattening these out by placing each card under a separate stack of very heavy things. Books, for example. Big books.

The severe curling problem is why we didn't sell those cards initially. We had a lot of requests from collectors to make them available, so we've done so.

Some people have had success wrapping the cards the other direction around a cardboard tube with rubber bands, but it's also possible you're going to have to accept that they'll never lie truly flat.

Thanks everyone for the information! I wasn't aware that was the reason for not being sold or distributed, I can live with the cards and I love them anyway, I was just making sure that mine wasn't a unique case of bad luck. I've put them under about 60 lbs of college books so they should be flat in no time. Thanks again!
