I'm by no means an expert, having precisely zero soaks to my name. Of any issue.

But I almost wonder if some of those letters were just barely hanging on, with the dirt acting as a bit of glue to sort of help to hold them in place. Take away the dirt acting as glue, and some small bits of the paper come off with it.

Agreed. Zero soaks here as well but doesnt that back already look rather compromised from what Travis said was a prior cleaning?
