There are other cards, like the '61 Fairly you mentioned, that I make an exception for and include in my comprehensive list.
But, because I know other people chase after all sorts of non-recognized variants--print anomalies and so forth--I start threads here and there about cards that these folks might find interesting. So when someone pointlessly chimes in to say, "That's not a variant to me," I say, "Who cares??!! Move on then."

+1....I think each collector is ENTITLED to have their own opinion (and respect other's opinion on the subject) as to what constitutes a variation to them. For me, anything(print errors, typo's, airbrushing) "deliberately" changed/corrected by Topps qualifies as a variation to me. For me, I also collect what I consider "print variants" (61 Fairly, 62 Hall card from this thread). To each their own on this subject....
