The scotch tape mark on the back of this card or is this a common thing on T-206 cards as well?

Is it better to stay away of such cards like a bad plague??

That back doesn't look too bad to me. Depends on the collector. Some collect beaters, and some just like high grade. I am in between myself. Don't like paper loss but can handle soft corners and mild creases. Let's see the front! Dave.

The front looks great I rather keep it for myself since it is still at auction....and I may just buy it.

It's a T206, you've already caught the plague.

these guys don't miss much, if anything!!:D
Minor back damage doesn't bother me, unless the back is rare and I'm buying the card for the back. Quite a few T206s were glued into albums long ago, and now suffer back damage after being removed from the album. The card below is one of my favorites, even though it has serious back issues.
