1958 Topps Master Set

[ALR-bishop]

Mike -- what is your definition of a true variation ? Would it include the 58 Herrer, the 57 Bakep, the 52 Campos Black Star, the 67 Moeller white streak, the 61 Fairly green in the ball on the back ?

Do you know one when you see one or rely on someone else to tell you what are true variations . No offense intended , who would have thought the 61 Fairly would be a recognized variation. Would the Herrer and Bakep make the cut post Internet ? Should there be a hobby accepted definition of a variation ? Collect what you like . I do. Hobby recognition does drive value, but is the 61 Fairly a print dot in your view ?

No I don't know much about variations.
I am simply trying to complete my 3 sets.
The 1959 and 1960 are definite on what is the complete set.
I have found, however, that 1958 is not so defined.
I have decided to go for the full "master set", and just need to know what that is.
I appreciate all of the input. I am now more clear on what to focus on.
