Would this be considered a Variation?

I honestly say no to these just because all you have to do is put a card in the sun for a day and you will have the same effect. The foil-less or wrong color variations were actual errors on the companies production line, not just an ink cartridge running low. The biggest problem about going the discolored route is that you can find a discolored variation of probably every card that exists. I'm personally going to stick to factory errors/variations and stay away from 'faded' variations.

This was why I brought up the "Bold" Donruss card earlier. I'm not considering it a variation unless it actually is more than just one of the first cards printed with a new cartridge.
