Flattening out a card

I received a poorly shipped card that was sent in a penny sleeve and shoved in a thin magazine. The card isn't bent but it doesn't lie flat. What's the best way to flatten it out? Put it in the middle of a book?

    Normally I slip cards in that condition in between me bum cheeks overnight.

    Put 20 pounds of old cards on top of it.

    i have sent cards in that were not flat because they were in 9 sleeve binders,as long as there are no creases you should be good

    Don't they have organizations available to help escort distressed marine life back to the water? :D

    I figure you may want a serious answer: Last year I bought a 1973 Topps set that came in 9 pocket sleeves. I'm not a sleeve and binder guy so I took the cards out and they all had a curl. I stacked them in groups of about 30 and kept them under coffee table type books for a few months and they are now much, much better.

    I would do what Baltimore Yanks did, and after some time flip over the card over and put it back under the book. Flatten it out on both sides.
