Do you consider this a legit variation

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.

Hey Al, I have the Grabarkewitz green and red dot as well, not too many people know about that one. Still fairly easy to find both variations on ebay.

Some people collect the team name in red & orange as well. I haven't crossed that line....yet.

Here are a couple I've found:
