I kinda like some nice writing on the back, and am okay if it is extensive as well. I also usually am fine with paper loss, as long as it is not too excessive.
Now if you have a card that has been attached to a wood plague and has had the write-up on the back of card transferred to the back of the plaque and has had a little cross-hatched engraving to boot, well, nothing tops that. Brian

On a blank-back card, I'd rather have paper loss than writing. On a card with bio info or advertising on the back, I'll still take paper loss, but only if it doesn't significantly affect the bio infor or the advertising.

It's hard to see because the scan is too large, but this one has paper loss at the bottom, and beneath it someone wrote Tinker. The paper loss bothers me much more than the writing.

I'd take writing over paperloss as well. I have cards with both, and writing doesn't seem to be as intrusive. Of course both have extremes that won't work in either case.

It depends on where the paper loss or writing is. Paper loss on a blank area is a wonderful money saver for me. Insignificant writing isn't too bad. Paper loss on a crucial area is worse than writing in a crucial area, for my taste.

In general, I'd say writing, especially on the back, is more acceptable.
Some folks on here actually pay a premium for 'ink' (stamps) on the back of certain older cards as that generally indicates some provenance.
