Removing a bend from a photo?

Received a signed photo yesterday, and unfortunately, it was slightly bent in transit.

 

Luckily, the bend is very light and only visible at an angle -- it is not sharp and it does not have a crease or crack in the surface.

 

That said, I'm sure it impacts the value and desirability of the photo to a slight degree.

 

Is anyone aware of a way to remove the bend? It is standard kodak photo paper.

I've had similar situations like this f****** Usps... Anyway, I have a couple of methods but I would need to know  some characteristics.  What is the paper quality as in is it colored, plain black and white, glossy, etc.?  Also, is it an expensive piece because if it is you could send it to a professional as they have the equipment to do so.  It would be kinda pricey but if it's a valuable piece then why not?

Color, glossy on Kodak photostock.

 

Worth about $150.

 

I can live with the bend... it's really subtle. But if there is a fix, I'd be happy to explore it.
