I can understand if you are a master player or set collector you might not want a variation recognized if you do not have it. A good example might be the two variations to the Mantle, Thompson or Robinson cards in the 52 set. Or the above discussed House, or the Campos with a partially missing front border, or the Snider broken front border, or the Campanella messed up "major" on the back, all of which were included in the 52 Super set auctioned by H&G not long back. Who would want to incur the extra expense of adding them to your master set.

By the way I think the Mantle, Thompson and Robinson have now been mostly recognized, but not the House. Many of the others I mentioned above in my view are just recurring print defects. But, then so are the 58 Herrer, the 57 Bakep, the 61 Fairly, and maybe the 52 Black Star Campos. (Some feel it is a true variation, and it has long been recognized, but the seeming existence of partial black stars, if genuine, make me think it may be a print defect )

On the other hand, if you finally get or have such cards, it would be the opposite, you would push to have them recognized to increase their value.
