Separation anxiety

If I were to soak an OJ, how many pieces would it separate into?
The reason I ask is I recently purchased a OJ that appears to have seperated into 2 pieces. There is a very thin back piece that seems to have separated from the heavy cardboard backing. The other thicker back piece and the photo only show a hint of separation. I'm wondering if the separated piece is not really part of the card, but it appears to be of the same type and age. It also has stains which match the attached thicker back.

OJs have two basic parts, the albumen photo attached to a cardboard backing. It's not uncommon for separation to take place but most seem to stick together fairly well.
