Uncurving cards

I have a lot of old Pokemon-ex cards that are curved (not bent). I read somewhere that putting them in a freezer to remove the excess moisture will help, does anyone have any suggestions as to how this would best be done? Just a sleeve, or also a toploader? Should I sandwich the card between two boxes of food or something?
 
All the condensation in the freezer is trapped between packages of food. Don't think you want to wash your card.
 
Ahh, then the thing to get the moisture out is the dryer!
Freezer THEN dryer

-kidding-

I think the best thing possible to uncurve cards is to have them in toploaders, under large books...
 
If you want to remove moisture, place them in an airtight container (preferably a safe) with packs of silica gel, this will draw out moisture.

Other good way include putting the cards into binders. If you use Monster or Ultra Pro Premium binders, just sleeve them up and put them in. If you just use regular binders, make sure the cards go back to back.
 
I use gel from shoes? o_O?
I have a few in my tiny fireproof safe from Walmart where I store my rare Japanese Cards (Karen's Umbreon and Lance's Charizard xD)
 
The best way to un bend cards is to put them in a sleeve and then into a textbook. Leave them like this for a few days. Make sure there is no debris in the book like crumbs, sand or dirt.
 
I decided to put the card I want to un-bend, along with 10 other unbent cards, into a booster pack wrapper and put it under a heavy book. Let's see how this works :)
