Thanks. If it turns out it isn't paper loss, I'll likely pick up a low grade common and experiment.

Alfredo, you typically submerge the card in distilled water, let it soak for an hour or two, and then tag a q-tip to it and try to gently brush away the paper. I've seen it done a lot for T206 cards and other tobacco cards, but ever card issue is a little different. You run the risk of the card falling completely apart, which is a major concern given how fragile these are. I'll look for a beater to try it on first I guess.
