Default T206 question: How does back damage affect grade and value?

My question is based on this card:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I'm wondering how back damage like this affects the value and the technical grade of the card. I wasn't sure what to bid on this one because I certainly liked the card, but didn't want to overbid and make it hard to recoup my investment if I decided to sell later. I'm guessing there's no simple answer, but if anyone has some examples or rules of thumb on how to gauge the value of a card that looks great on the front but has back damage, I would love to hear it. Thanks.

Luke
