What’s wrong with my anthurium crystallinum x besseae aff?

i recently picked up this beautiful anthurium it hsd some slight mechanics damage on the leaves but i’ve noticed on of them has started to dry and crisp up and get these darker weak patches in the plant, otherwise healthy (3rd photo is the healthier leaf)

This is usually a humidity issue.

This looks like the result of dry rot inhibiting the plant’s ability to uptake water, especially since it’s showing first and most on your oldest leaves. Take a look at your roots! :)

Humidity issues would show up on all the leaves and you would have had leaf ripping on your emergents. You would also likely have more yellowing/browning and the not literal drying out/darkening.
