SGC and Back Damage?

[timelord]

Greetings all. I have a card from the E135 Collins-McCarthy set with some slight back damage. It has just a few spots but does affect some of the text on back. What grade do you think it would get from SGC? Just curious as this is a key card from the set. Look forward to some comments.

Will grade either 10 or 20 at the most would be my guess without seeing a scan of the card.

I agree with Phil, 20 max, probably a 10.

Thanks guys. That is what I thought. Real shame because this is a key to the set. The front is very nice but I know they reduce the grade significantly for BD.

I've seen some SGC-30 (2)'s with modest back damage recently -- before this, I would have agreed 100% with the commentary above. This one is on eBAY now.

Agree with others here... if the back has extremely minor paper loss, it has an outside chance at a 30. Otherwise 10 or 20 depending on severity.

is this paper missing on the back or paper attached to the back, if this is paper attached it can be removed.

Pretty doubtful that it is paper attached. Looks like paper loss to me - especially on the bottom of the crest.

The more I look at it, the more I think it'll get a 20. Still a great card! I love cards with great eye appeal and a small flaw that knocks the technical grade down... especially if the flaw is on the back. If sold, I'd bet this one would bring a nice premium over a standard 20.
