This change is enough to cause the new (correct) version to be considered a new card.
If this definition of a new card seems arbitrary to you, I suppose that you're right. But this definition of what constitutes a new card has been accepted for years so I guess we just don't question it.
Yeah, but theres other sets with errors that people do not count to be complete. Look at t205s, people count thier set complete at 208 with a master at 221. 1914 CJ collectors do not get the Bresnahan no number for a complete 144...not sure if we're splitting hairs with variation vs error but the t206s are always labeled error. I always thought what constitued a new card is a new/different card, not an error that the manufacturer caught and corrected.
