Back scans are very important...........
Here is an example of why I feel back scans are important even on graded cards. This Bud Sharpe T206 has an SGC 50 grade. Now, if I only went off of the front of the card, I'd say "ok, way more bottom border than top, but not bad".............but then you look at the back- pretty heavy staining. Would you be ok with that? Or feel that for a 50 you should not have this type of staining?
This card was in a GAI holder with a grade of V/G 3,,,,,,crossed over to SGC 50. Don't get me wrong, I was suprised and very happy it got even a better grade,,,,,,but if I was buying sight unseen based on only the grade given, I don't think I'd be too thrilled with the staining on the back. Just my 2 cents....
