I was able to restore almost all the unbroken card

couple of them had taken on a permanent bend due to excessive shrinkage.
Some had broken pins. A few of the pieces expanded too much and you could
plug them into the chassis but they bowed away from the edge because they
had lengthened beyond original length. Waiting a few weeks allowed them to
dry out a little and shrink and restored them to original size.
Interesting... so boiling them can make them expand too much, leaving them
for a few weeks will allow them to contract, but they "remember" their
manufactured size, such that a few weeks after they they aren't trying to
return to their shrunken, pre-boiled state?
