I just throw them in toploaders and put something heavy on it to try and get them straightened out a bit.
lol i did the same thing with mine. i put them in toploaders and placed a 4 row box full of cards on top of them in three different small stacks.

I have a entire box of 2010 bowman chrome that i busted where every card looked like crap. is it worth trying to have topps replace or is this a lost cause.
2010 is the only year I've noticed with this problem.

RE: Bent bowman chrome cards
What I noticed in 2010 is that to me anyway they tried to make the cards thicker and they came out warped. I also noticed that the bowman chrome that comes out of the regular bowman or the heritage chrome parallels do not seem to have that problem as bad as there is regular cards in the pack so maybe topps could get rid of the problem by putting a thick decoy card in every pack to keep them flat.
