Buy the card, front being more important but back also important if it is a text based back with a write up or stats I want to read. Snap the slab from the inconsistent and corrupt firm slabbing it, throw it and the slip in the trash. Use eyes to determine condition of said card. Enjoy the card. Repeat.

Great question! I buy the front and the back, except for blank back cards. And I never buy the slab...give me a nice eye appeal 1 over a poorly centered 5 every day of the week.

My priority:
1) Front of the card (by a mile) 2) The slab (if it's slabbed, who graded it and what was the grade) 3) Card back I will add that I buy SGC slabs 90% of the time. But if its a card produced after 1950 and its high dollar (for me over 5K) I prefer PSA. I do buy Beckett, CSG, and even KSA (for Hockey) when I just want a card that's encapsulated.

Depends on the card for me. Paper loss on the back of a T206 means less to me than paper loss on the back of a 1933 Goudey, because I collect baseball cards, not tobacco ads.
Couldn't care less what tobacco ad is on the back (blasphemy, I know), but if I can't read stats, that bothers me some.

The front is more important to me, but the back does matter. The amount of back damage I can accept depends on how rare the back is. I can put up with more back damage on an EPDG or Tolstoi than I would on a more common Piedmont.

45% - Front & back (Mostly Post-war)
45% - Front (Mostly Pre-war - I don't often mind back paper loss or even an Authentic grade if it looks nice for display) 10% - Grade (only for the 2 players I started a registry for fun for.)
