I don't think a set is complete unless it has all of the cards. That's one thing that turned me off on the T206 set. I might have been able to swing a beater Plank, but I'd never be able to afford a Wagner (unless I hit the Powerball) so I dont really see having a set that's missing one card. Then there's that whole set/master set argument. Is a 1952 Topps set complete at 407 cards or do you need all of the 1-80 red/black backs, the Campos variation, the 131-190 gray/yellow backs and both versions of the double printed Mantle, Robinson, and Thompson cards to call it complete?
