I really do not agree with the statement "just like a hand collated set you get what you get". My Dad and I put together sets mostly with vending cases and resold them for over 25 years. After 1992 when it became harder to purchase vending direct from topps we would often buy bulk hand sets to resell. Along with factory. When we bought bulk sets we would go through the sets to insure they were complete. And if there were any problems I dont recall having any issues when we asked sellers to replace any missing cards. And we always included our business card in case anyone got a double or had any missing cards.
If I buy or sell a "Complete set" I expect it to be complete. Am I behind the collecting times? I hope not..
