I think each individual collector has their own visions on UERs etc. I ,recently in getting my FB Team logos together was sorting the 1999 UD Victory, I always check the site for E&Vs.....well I find 1 VAR listed regarding Tony Banks [uniform RAMS, team RAVENS, comment on VAR, played with the RAMS] Now, in my collection that's not a VAR, not an ERR/COR or a UER or nothing. In the world of variations, a variation needs to be visibly different, so a card like the 1989 Fleer Randy Johnson with the "Marlboro sign" that's a variation, maybe even to some an error. Even lesser known color variations are more of a variation to me than this Tony Banks card. In shuffling through the years you find many cases of names appearing in different colors..red..yellow etc, Are they ERRs, VARs or print flaws? To me ERRs, that is the way guides classify them. Now here is one for you to comment on...I have many 1985 Topps Phillies where the banners are so far off in color from gray to actually black. What are they? I put up a set on ebay years back, and buyers were begging for them. Buyers liked them, but what are they, ERR/COR, VARs, print flaws? Just my collectors opinion. Sometimes I think we get wrapped up in what is supposed to be what as opposed to seeing something that is just cool and you want it in your collection. What's wrong with that? And that is why we will never get this, E&V&UER&Flaws ever completely adjusted. The member Who identified the Tony Banks card probably never checked elsewhere, thought it was cool and called it a variation. How do we control that and anything that a member enters about a card? You will spend all your time being card policemen.....sorry, I have to stop, it really aggravates me!
