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:

If the card is a blank back card, then I don't mind if there are small paper pulls or writing.

On a card with a back that has writing or is ornate then a very small paper pull is ok with me as long as it doesn't detract from the overall appearance of the card.

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.

To me it really depends on the card. Common card I could find at any time, I'll pass. Rare card, even if the back matters, I usually don't care.

This is the only PSA graded and only 1 SGC graded.

Blank back is generally fine if there is damage but for my t205s, because the backs are part of the lure, no back damage for me.

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.

Awesome card Brian! Better than any stupid PSA 10! Love it!

Cheers,

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

I'm always on the lookout. I might have to let a couple cards go if one becomes available.

I collect for the front of the card - I actually prefer cards with back damage if the front is exceptional; makes the card much less expensive in many cases.
