I'm guessing it was soaked poorly or with a solvent already which might account for the crazing as it shrunk. Even the exposed paper on the front, which typically turns dirty very quickly, is still whitish. I think a water soak is pointless, and in fact dangerous as the card is very fragile at this point and the backing paper is actually helping to hold it together.

This was my thought as well. Leave it be

Yeah it's just a Piedmont back so nothing to gain.

Thank you to everyone for the help. The card is back in the binder where it belongs.

And on a side note I finally bought a blacklight this afternoon and checked all of my cards and aside from a few overly cleaned T218's nothing seems to look fake.

I thought you were going to say that when you took it out of your binder that you could see a faint UZIT image visible through the scrapbook paper that wasn’t previously visible.

I wish, but I almost bid on a card that I thought I could make out a Carolina Brights back through scrapbook paper a few years ago, but the seller pulled the auction a few hours before I could bid crazy amounts for it.

Sounds like the seller found out too.

As for the card in question, real and I too would leave it be, (maybe).

It looks real to me too but I would probably not risk soaking that one. Just my humble opinion.
