Collecting in the collections, outside the mainstream

It's a lot of fun collecting "unrecognized" variants precisely because they are cheap. People mostly only care about the Standard Catalog and what PSA chooses selectively to be cognizant of. Makes it fun to get the hard ones that they don't include, for low prices.

Agree with this which makes it interesting for the 1952 Topps variation collectors. It is hard to believe they do not recognize some of the well known "printing" variations like the '52 Campos border break, etc.
