Also, if I were to reinforce it with tape, should I put the tape on the front or the back?

Steve,

If you are really concerned with making sure it is consistent with the rest of your set, have you considered just putting it into an empty PSA slab yourself? That way it will match the rest of your set but you don't have to worry about "fixing it." If you really need to secure it first because of condition issues, you could try penny sleeves first?
