New England Sport Cards (NESC) curled or warped cards

I see a lot of NESC ads on eBay show quantities of cards that appear to have a heavy curl to them. Has anyone here purchased from them and had success flattening the cards out?

NESC is the raw card branch of 4SHARPCORNERS. I have made many purchases from NESC, both singles and quantities up to 5,000 at a time in a monster box. I don't recall anything being curled or damaged. Vintage Topps card stock curls naturally, so even if I have received curled cards, once I collated into sets in 800 count boxes or placed in albums or toploaders, the issues sorted themselves out. I have never had a bad experience with the quality of the cards, however, those big lots will have HEAVY duplication.

Those are probably cards from vending. That's the beloved 'vending curl' that you're seeing. That doesn't hurt the card and they will grade out. Just realize 4SC screens the cards for grading candidate before selling through NESC. You may get good cards in there but most of the really good stuff has been screened and submitted by 4SC.
