Pinback Question

[Archive]

Posted By: Aaron Patton

...a bit of a Chaoian question, but, what is the board consensus regarding pinbacks with missing pins?

Obviously, depending on the issue, value/desirability would go hand-in-hand with pinbacks that were completely intact. However, as a novice collector, I'm trying to figure out whether I really mind either way.

For those of you who collect, does a missing back discourage you from a purchase. Typically, what sort of devaluation should be considered when pricing a pin-less pinback?

Hopefully not too remidial a question. As I get deeper and deeper into collecting, its one that I'd be interested (from those who know much more than I) hearing some input on!

Thanks in advance,
