I agree. As a former coin collector, there are plenty of
varieties that may or may not appeal to collectors, but are NOT required for a complete set. Take the 1937-D 3-legged Buffalo Nickel for instance. It's a variety that was created by a mint employee over polishing the coinage die, which caused details to be lost. Many people seek to acquire the variety, but no one considers a Buffalo Nickel collection incomplete if you don't have it.
I consider the Magie and Doyle to be exactly the same situation. To me, a T206 set is a 522 card set, with additional varieties that can be acquired if they appeal to you. It's interesting though that almost no one in the card collecting community would see it that way.
