Cards Taped into a Scrapbook

I acquired a number of older cards, Ken Dryden/Guy Lafleur rookies etc... They are in great condition generally but, some have old dark yellow tape marks on the back and some on the front. I don't know if it is worth getting them graded. A few have the tape pulled off the back leaving a small spot where the surface pulled off in the centre back of card. I know that any marks on the face of a card are considered DEFACED and are not worth much, but what about marks to the back, like take, I also have a rookie with a number written in pencil on the back.
Anyone who can clue me? Much appreciated.
Cheers,

Hi KB,
Sorry it took so long to post a reply. I would say it can impact the grade anywhere from 2-4 grades depending on the severity of the tape mark and the condition of the rest of the card. Hope this helps.

That is unfortnate that there are tape marks on the back of the cards, it does decrease the value of the cards. If you do get it graded.
