How much of a deal breaker is paper loss on the back of a card for you?

I'll see what I can find for ya... So you'd say you're looking for a "HIGH END PSA/SGC 1" then...right?

Blank back is generally fine if there is damage but for my t205s, because the backs are part of the lure, no back damage for me.

Here are front and back scans of my Diamond Stars Hornsby. I almost decided against this card because I thought there possibly was minor paper loss on the left border of the reverse.

Awesome card Brian! Better than any stupid PSA 10! Love it!

Cheers,

Sometimes paper loss can be your very best friend, that saves you money and still treats you to the high life:

I don’t like the ears.

The only cards where it would really concern me, is where I want to be able to read the back. Otherwise, I like getting a card that would be too expensive without the damage. Here are a few I've acquired in this category.

The glue stains and paper loss made this one harder for Chief Meyers to sign, but I would have pursued it as heavily without any back damage. Heck, maybe he even decided to write his signature so beautifully on the front only after having trouble with the back! You have to accept rare cards as you find them.

I'm always on the lookout. I might have to let a couple cards go if one becomes available.

I collect for the front of the card - I actually prefer cards with back damage if the front is exceptional; makes the card much less expensive in many cases.
