I REALLY and TRUELY appreciate all of this information. Now a question......Can we somehow get the " limit " to our want list raised?These type of things raise my limit, where it does not need to go.
I think this stuff is wonderful for those who collect these things, but when someone finds a new " comma " ( exageration ) I do not want to have to revisit the same sets. I DO WANT what I call true variations ; photo, color swap, saber stats etc
I am a team collector, the Phillies. When new releases come out I " add all missing cards to the want list" to capture them. So to avoid adding stuff I do not want, I would have to manuelly add cards to the want list, as opposed to hitting 1 button.
PLEASE accept this for what it is, another point of view. No disrespect or arguments PLEASE.

BOB
TCDB is not a democracy. You have been shown PROOF as to why these cards are not allowed here. It doesn't matter if 300 members want it, if Admin says "no", that's the end of it.
I said to you that attempts to get this stuff added would not be tolerated.
I cannot trust you. You said you wouldn't do this. You're doing it.

I'm a fickle closet variant collector. 99% of the time I look at card fronts. I do not collect "Inc" or "Inc.", but will go after the factory set variation with the '91 Donruss. I did go through my entire '91 Donruss cards and separated them based on the three variations, and have traded frequently with those who collect that way. I also added the '91 Topps Dark Logo to my want list. There was a time when I wouldn't collect OPC because I felt they were just Topps cards. Not anymore as Bru can attest since I've gotten most of my OPC fix from him.
To each his own. If this ends up being logged as a variant - not proposing it, but if it happens, then I'll go through my collection to check them for trading purposes, but I'm not sure I'll add them to my want list.
By the way, I'd held out responding to this thread initially because I thought it was "informational purposes only", but I knew it would get to this. And here I am.

I like seeing these minor differences with pictures in the forum, as long as it does not descend into argument s over what is listable here or not.
If we keep the posts of this kind to 'as info only' like the beginning of the thread, I see that as a benefit. Those that want to check their own collection for similar, or ask Bob privately about buy/sell of same, all good..

Mark,
And that's exactly what Bob and I had discussed him doing. But then he had to try to turn it into a "vote" ("2 to 1 in favor of making the NO #1 a variation") - and that's where it became problematic. So he lied to me. And he's going against the site's forum rules now. I won't be surprised if this one gets yanked too.

I agree, Dan.
I hope there can be another post on another set soon that stays 'as info only'
