Default 1955 Topps 'New' Jackie Robinson Variation

Hi everyone,

I just came across this article here: https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.co...robinson-card/ describing a newly discovered "partial diamond" variation of the Jackie Robinson card in the '55T set. Looking at all the examples they show, it is clear this is definitely a genuine print variation. However, since it is such a minor variation, and was possibly brought about by a slight plate/calibration error (I'm not too educated on the printing process for the set), should it be classed as a variation? The article also shows that SGC has begun recognizing the error.

In addition to this, I remembered reading a similar discussion on here: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=233799 which mentions the Robinson 'variation' and discusses Bob Grim's card having the same issue.

I've added a poll, so everybody can share their stance on the cards' status.

Owen
