USPS doesn't sell the George Washington 10 cents stamp from 1960 does it? (not sure if it exists, but will you get my point!). At least our national Postal service sells only NEW stamps. So the analogy is a false one IMO, as Bricklink (TLG) does sell 1960 bricks and not only new ones. Check stampword dot com for instance on stamps, or dive into the AFOS (Adult Fans Of Stamps) community and you will seek geeks that look for different teethings on the same stamp. Same goes here, so if it would be true analogy, follow the catalogue like AFOS and leave the variants as is. Even if there a just 100 AFOLS who are keen on this, leave it. Do not have it changed because 'it's easier'. Effort brings skills. Put some effort in getting around, understanding the catalogue and ask questions. Members help members.
