However, as you were informed, "too much" is up to the discretion of the grader. Just because the card is Assembly stage, I don't think that is proven the card is holdered. That "Assembly" could just be putting the card back in a Card Saver I to ship back to you. so until you see the grade or get the card back, you won't know for sure.

PSA and SGC will both give you a numeric grade if there is tape on a card.
Typically, neither will grade a card if the entire back is covered by scrapbook paper (although I'm sure exceptions can be found).
Having your card currently sitting in the "Assembly" stage at PSA is not an indication that your card passed through grading. If they rejected your card, it would still go through each stage of the grading process.
