Tim SandersTo me it really depends - nothing gets my goat more than when a dealer lists a card as VG (prices it that way) and in the same breath lists paper loss and/or writing.  If he however lists it poor to fair expect the worst and be happy if there is no paper loss.  
The only time I would be concerned is in the example of a tough back- why sell a Carolina Brights back  if the back is shredded and that's not disclosed- in other words don't sell for the premium if that's where it's messed up!
