Joe P.Hankron please forgive me but you're beginning to sound almost like anonymous, he of the unmoveable (my word) mindset.
Of course the Magie and the Doyle are variations, BUT we're talking about the causes of the variation.
1. One derivative to printing missteps, and adjustments.
2. The other caused by someone inadvertently inserting erroneous information on the card.
Simply stated -- It's all relatively simple.
The collector, including big and smalltime speculators, will always have to pay more for an error card, especially if the error was caught early causing even more of a scarcity.
Hankron, I can see that variations and errors are not part of your collecting baggage, and there's nothing wrong with that. .... some of my best friends etc etc etc.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, it's part of my collecting baggage, and I'm learning something new every day.
I appreciate your take on the subject, it's a good one.
