In Catalog, StormChaser writes:    […] Only if every single variant was thoroughly documented and also documented to have appeared in that set could you say that your copy of a set is historically accurate. Er, not exactly. One’s owning the set since it was bought sealed and never having mixed its parts allows one to say one’s copy is historically accurate. Or any certified track of the set and its parts from the time it was bought sealed allows the latest owner to say their copy is historically accurate. So even if BL’s catalogue didn’t exist, one could still be proud of owning a period-specific set.    And considering that many (if not most or all) parts have variants, chasing those phantoms might become rather nonsensical at some point. And the one who discovers a variant can’t even have the ego-boost of the variant being named after them. No “3961 stormchaserus” for you
