The real rare cards listed by Gilkeson are those 'Semi Airbrushed' versions (j). I call them 'Circle Scribbles'. Black, circular pattern found in a few levels of coverage. Harder to find than White Scribbles.
He also refers to colored dots. I am not 100% sure but I assume he's talking about the Red 'Bulls Eye' dot found on 1% of FFs. The White dots - he could be talking about the random White circles/dots found on most versions of the card. Fish eyes? The 'Blue' Dot could be the random purplish/pinkish dots I've found on a few Black Box cards.
Just print defects - not versions/variations.

The Gilkeson article was published in the July 1990 issue of Tuff Stuff (Nolan Ryan cover)
