Default 1963 Topps "Bowed" cards. Why?

When I was a kid I owned a great incomplete set of 1963 Topps. I remember they were curved or bowed up. This was before penny sleeves and Card Saver IIs. They were incredibly high grade and I regret selling them. So, a couple weeks ago I found a lot of about 150 cards on fleabay and went after them pretty hard and won the auction. In the photos they looked just like the ones I used to own and, upon receiving them, I'm happy to say they are "pack fresh" amazing examples. Even the centering on them is way above average. I just wonder about the curve in them. Are they from vending? Not one had a gum or wax stain.

I'm super happy I scored this lot. Anybody else run into this, especially 1963?
