Master Sets
Doug---I think a lot of people feel just as you do. But, for example, what about the 1962 set in which there are 4 different cards numbered 137: two completely different poses of Reniff ( potrait and pitching) and two variations of a Ruth pose. Admitedly that situation is rare ( although it happens a couple of other times in the same 62 set), but in the 59 set Topps made deliberate changes to about a half dozen cards in latter print runs, and that is true in a number of other sets as well. Even if you exclude print error variations, what do you do about intentional Topps changes ? And then where is line drawn on what is a "variation" and what is a "print defect". It is beyond me. But I do like collectiong proofs, errors and variations anyway
