T206 checklist revisited

Scot,
Your words are most kind and gratefully received.
Your finely crafted T206 monograph brought out the vintage scholar in
many of us and is continuing to transform T206 research and scholarship.
Thank you.
In response to your last entry on this thread, I must say that
your delineation of 'why design and printing variations are treated differently' is clearly and expertly articulated and very helpful.
Further, I appreciate very much the poignant way with which you close as you refer to the Magie and Doyle Nat'l design errors: "It is these uniquely human mistakes that we celebrate." I join you in this celebration.
I do continue to wonder if such celebration necessitates the cards' placement
on the T206 checklist rather than a separate errors list--an errata, if you will--
with design and printing errors differentiated with appropriate explanations.

all the best,
Barry
