My priority:
1) Front of the card (by a mile) 2) The slab (if it's slabbed, who graded it and what was the grade) 3) Card back I will add that I buy SGC slabs 90% of the time. But if its a card produced after 1950 and its high dollar (for me over 5K) I prefer PSA. I do buy Beckett, CSG, and even KSA (for Hockey) when I just want a card that's encapsulated.

Depends on the card for me. Paper loss on the back of a T206 means less to me than paper loss on the back of a 1933 Goudey, because I collect baseball cards, not tobacco ads.
Couldn't care less what tobacco ad is on the back (blasphemy, I know), but if I can't read stats, that bothers me some.

The front is more important to me, but the back does matter. The amount of back damage I can accept depends on how rare the back is. I can put up with more back damage on an EPDG or Tolstoi than I would on a more common Piedmont.

45% - Front & back (Mostly Post-war)
45% - Front (Mostly Pre-war - I don't often mind back paper loss or even an Authentic grade if it looks nice for display) 10% - Grade (only for the 2 players I started a registry for fun for.)

C'mon, this is the easiest question ever!! How do people decide whether or not to buy a card? I outlined it for everyone...

Personally for me, if the back isn’t blank then I wouldn’t accept paper loss or anything significant on the back. Tbh I like reading the backs. I rather have a true to grade card than a great front and jacked up back.
