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.

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

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 simply love me some minor paper loss on the back when the front looks this good.
