The problem with calling these print flaws variations is it creates a false
market especially if they get cataloged as a variation. If you look hard
enough I'm sure there are dozens if not hundreds of these in the T205
set.
I know there are hundreds of cards in the T206 set like this.
The most recent example that is supposed to be cataloged
is a perfect example of creating a false market.
A Marquard (Throwing) armpit 8 that sold in the recent LOTG auction.
Without the "variation" it's a $150-$200 card. I was shocked when it
received the $500 minimum bid and completely shocked when it sold for
$3000.00.

The reasons it sold for 10x-15x the true value is PSA put it
on the flip and it will be in their registry and it's supposed to be in the next Standard Catalog.
A much nicer Marquard (Throwing) and portrait sold as a pair in the
same auction for $338.

If they want to start calling all of these flaws variations here are two
more of the same Marquard pose.
They could call this one the Marquard "Blue zero on shoulder".

and this one the "Red slash on sleeve"
they are both as rare as the "armpit 8"
