You might be right about some kind of chemical that it was soaked in that caused some areas to "flake" off I've seen T206's that were "flaking" that if you wanted to you could probably remove most of the image.

What does caption area look like because as you said there are areas where you can see faint letters.

Hi Pat, looking at the bottom border and the bottom right border, those areas also have a somewhat rough and scuffed up appearance. I did have a member PM me that they not only believe that the card was involved in some sort of chemical bath, but that perhaps a cotton swab or something similar was was used to clean the white areas while still wet, and thus perhaps scraping away surface layers.

To me this seem like a very likely scenario.
