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)

There are many, many, Gilkeson variations that I can only guess as to what he is describing. Some of which I have been chasing down since acquiring his book in 2004. A handful of my queries made their way to him 10 years or so ago only to find that he doesn't recall the card(s), which is totally fair. I had the same questions on those 'dot' mentions.
