Do you consider this a legit variation

The Nash, Day and Northrup are all listed in SCD as variations....I have seen the less populated versions of each of these cards sell for a slight premium on ebay.

Not sure if it's recognized in the Price Guides, but '71 Carl Morton is extremely tough to find without the ugly black line at the top.

I view the Morton and these others as unintentional print defects, but I still collect them

No question, but because these defects were corrected, I think they are legit variations. Not unlike the 57 Bakep or 58 Herrer cards.

I have them, and the Campos, but view them all as unintentional print defects, not true variations. But I realize the hobby has recognized the Herrer, Campos and Bakep as variations ( and, amazingly, the 61 Fairly green smudge on the back), and that's fine with me. I collect variants of any ilk.

After leaving Beckett full-time but still doing contract work, we got the Fairly put in as a variation.

I will forward this thread to Brian F at Beckett and update him as to what I emailed him last evening. Yes, I still talk to all of them frequently and even occassionaly do some contract work still.
