I've never heard of this happening to original cards back and front, at least not through a group lot. If it was an isolated card that had been stored or treated unusually it might be explainable, but for an entire grouping that doesn't sound good. Sounds as if someone picked the wrong brand of glue.

There are genuine 'skinned' cards, often an Old Judge where someone pealed the photo from the cardboard backing or a T206 or Goudey yanked from the album page it was glued to. However, someone has to physically skin, or pull apart, the card. Cards don't skin themselves.
