Matthew- A few of them did have paper loss. One with paper loss (but no tape) was actually graded a 1.5 instead of a 1! The other ones had streaks of paper loss. The majority had no paper loss but just that darned tape on top and bottom. I guess the tape was used to hold them in a scrapbook and that's why the fronts look so nice. My best guess is that the seller bought a scrapbook and removed the cards and sent them to PSA with no attempt to remove the tape. The tape on most doesn't affect the printed area of the back so thank heaven for small favors
