Are the standards of regular Bicycle cards slipping?

I bought four decks last week, from a good retailer, fresh out of their box and each time I've opened a deck they are badly warped. One deck was warped so much you couldn't even do a good DL with them.

Plus I've noticed the printing on the backs is getting shoddier, being really, noticeably off centre (more so than you normally expect with cards).

Has anyone else had any problems like this or are these just a bad batch do you think?

Bought quite a few packs recently and I can't say I've had the same problem with them. Maybe it's just a bad batch

I have had the odd pack that wasnt up to par but nothing too serious, never had a pack that was warped though. This could be down to the way they were stored before they were sent to you.

I use a card guard for my working deck, this keeps the cards nice and flat and also makes them last a bit longer. If the card backs are printed off centre why not use this to your advantage, you know, one way and all that

Put the deck in the fridge, that usually gets rid of any warping.
