This reminds me of the time I was at a good hobby friends house (Hi John E.). I was perusing his binders as he is an old time collector with great stuff. As I was going through his E92 binder I noticed all kinds of backs, Crofts and Allen, Crofts Cocoa, Dockman etc.... He doesn't care what is on back he only collects those by the fronts. He has the player for the set....check. No need to look at the backs
.... (however, I have always been a back collector too so of course looked)

I personally, and I assume others as well, don't necessarily care as much about the looks of the backs as I do the fronts.
In rare/expensive cards, I can understand someone wanting a pristine card that is as perfect out back as it is on the front, but I think the majority don't really care to be honest?
