Default Is it possible to flatten out Old Judge cards?
Posted By: davidcycleback

I don't know how it effects professional grade, but a bit of curl is common to these types of small 1800s photo cigarette cards. The curl is natural, due to aging. If not pasted to a backing, the thin albumen photo print on front naturally rolls into a tight 'cigarette' over time, explaining why the cards gains a bow.
