On his Zimmer cards pictured, one has full black and the other has some, but not the full, black. I suppose during that print run, as the black was becoming less and less bold, you could consider each one it's own variation.
As in, 100% black ink present, 99% black ink present, 98% black ink present... and maybe the one pictured is 15% black ink present, and so on.
So it's a question of how ridiculous someone wants to take the "variation" concept. I've seen some 1962 Topps McCovey cards with great color, and others that look dull. Are they "variations?" Is a card cut off center vs. one that is centered a "variation?"
My understanding is that the 1982 have no black (0 %.)

The 82 Blackless have been recognized by SCD and PSA as variations
But I agree with you they are print defects
Neat card Donny
