How much of a deal breaker is paper loss on the back of a card for you?
I kind of waffle back and forth on this and was interested to read some other opinions. How much does paper loss on the back of a card (from scrapbook removal, as an example) bother you if the front of the card presents well? Would you buy an iconic card graded as a "1" with significant paper loss on the back, or would it would bother you every time you looked at the card?
Thanks in advance for any opinions.

The only time that it really matters is when I buy the card for the back...Drum, Uzit, etc.
Sometimes I'm actually grateful for the paper loss, because it makes a card affordable that still displays well on the front.

100% agree with Sean, sometimes it makes it a deal and not a deal breaker. I've seen many T206's with beautiful fronts with great color, registration and centering, and non-existent creases have about 1/4 of the card with paper loss on the back and you can get the card at a pretty good value most of the time.
Now if it's something where the back matters, T205, 50's topps, a rare T206 back, I suppose it makes a difference. But. considering my budget, it helps if I make compromises.

I wouldn't want a card with back damage for my type-card collection, unless it was originally issued with a blank back. But, for the master Sam Rice collection I am working on, I'll gladly accept a rare card with back damage, because I may never see another one - here are a couple of examples:

Rice version, 1922 Haffner's Bread, 1922 Keating Candy, 1922 Witmor Candy Type 2 (vertical back), 1926 Sports Co. of Am. with ad & blank backs. Also T216 Kotton "NGO" card of Hugh Jennings. Also 1917 Merchants Bakery & Weil Baking cards of WaJo.

I collect a fair amount of cards with blank backs or postcard backs. Every now and then I get one with writing or scrapbook residue. Usually I get these cards for less than half of what they would go for otherwise. I just bought an Exhibit Ruth that had some scrapbook residue, so it was graded PSA 1. But, it had the look of a PSA 3 all day. More than happy to pay PSA 1 money for that.
