I had a similar dilema with my w517 binder set (all cards originally came in three card strips). I found an uncut strip online (I needed all three cards) and went back and forth on whether I should purchase it as part of my set, or let it go as an unnecessary financial distraction (because I'm cheap I don't want to buy the cards twice).
I ultimately decided the uncut strip WOULD count (because I would techically own the cards) even though they couldn't be displayed in the binder (my plan was to photo copy them and put the copy in the binder).
But the story has a sad ending, because by the time I made up my mind to purchase the strip, it had been sold. Oh well.
