Place them on a flat surface, then drive over them several times. Works a treat (but not when raining)

This works for badly folded/creased programmes.
Remove staples. Place pages in water.( seriously ) After they are fully soaked, lay each page between newspapers and squeeze, flattening them . Let the newspaper soak up the water, then remove pages and place under as many heavy books as you can. Leave for 4/5 days then remove. Replace staples and there you have it, a crease / fold free programme.
I remember doing this when I was a youngster and it worked. I can't recall where I got this information , but I have a feeling it might of been Programme Monthly.
Would I try this with and expensive item today ? No chance.

a) go to a building site

b) bribe the bricklayer to slip your postcard in between some bricks

c) buy the house that he's building

d) demolish it and remove postcard

e) sell your now pristinely-flattened postcard to a Chelsea collector on EBay

f) buy an even bigger house with the profit you made
