Do I have a damaged driver 6503

On one of my 6503 drivers I noticed that on the back side of the paper cone right where it glues to the rubber surround there is some delamination. This is not visible from the front side of the driver. This is fairly minor and its not like a piece of paper flapping around. It almost like there is a minute air pocket between the various layers of paper that make up a cone.
Its about an inch long along when it glues to the surround by about a 1/4 inch wide.
I would not be able to take a picture of this and the only reason I caught it is because of my paranoid personality.

I am not sure if I should worry about this or if it will cause a change in the sound. Or if there is anything I can even do about it
