Default Variants

Personally I do not consider any variant a variation unless it was changed intentionally by the manufacturer (that would include unintentional changes that occurred from intentional changes or set up in the printing process)

I do think it is often impossible to tell if a recurring print defect was intentionally changed. But non recurring print defects or unintentional temporary print defects, whether common, scarce or rare, are not real variations....for me.

But, my point was that if we searched long enough and close enough on any card, front and back, it would not surprise me if you would eventually find a print variant of some sort. I think most the cards posted in this thread are not variations, but they are variants ( cards that differ from their common counterpart in some way).
