It really depends on the set. I don't know who determines the cards that go into a master set, but it seems like for some sets contest cards go into the master set and for other sets contest cards are not counted.

I could not imagine the '57 Topps set without the lucky penny card. But with most of the recent stuff, I could definitely do without the contest card.

The same goes for checklists, even marked checklists from the '50s are valuable, but I can certainly do without checklists from '80s Topps sets.
