Caramel flakes....card decay ?

Posted By: Mark T

My Father-in-law about this, he is 88 years old and worked at a Lithograph business for many,many years.

He thinks its a combination of the ink and paper and of course how the card was stored. For example, if the card was owned in a state where high humidity is seen most of the year then that would explain the damage.

Not an expert opinion but he is a real old-timer.
