I'm guessing it was soaked poorly or with a solvent already which might account for the crazing as it shrunk. Even the exposed paper on the front, which typically turns dirty very quickly, is still whitish. I think a water soak is pointless, and in fact dangerous as the card is very fragile at this point and the backing paper is actually helping to hold it together.
