I do not think we disagree Darren. Whether a variant is a “true” variation ( 55 Robinson ?) or a recurring print defect ( 61 Fairly ?), if it receives hobby recognition it’s value goes up and it is sought by a wider group of collectors. Since the Catalogs are gone the best way to boost a card value is recognition by PSA so it becomes needed by master collectors

PSA used to rely on the Catalogs, print or on line, to recognize variations. The road to hobby recognition is just a little more chaotic these days.

The Nen has already obtained a niche hobby following. Glad I got one early. If Howard can get PSA to recognize the Nen it will be sought after by master as well as niche collectors and the value will go up more.

I know you have a great assortment of tough variations/variants in your collection. If we have a difference in this area I am not sure what it involves
