Complete Set frustration

[drc]

Wouldn't all variations before a master set, not a complete set? I don't follow the issue, so i may be missing something here.

I had to stop collecting complete sets because I got tired of paying for guys I didn't care about, like Mantle. Find what you like, and go with it - you're the only judge of "complete."

Take Care,

I think like you, i want every variation and short print when i build a set.

It is the only thing i hâte in t206, iwill never have a complete set

I guess I'm lucky in that I've always liked assortments and variety. I've never desired to complete a set. I'm a restless sort.

From what you wrote, it would appear that it doesn't matter what the rest of us think. You probably will not be satisfied with anything short of a master set. FWIW, I personally think that you need examples of the high numbers for a basic set. If I'm not mistaken, the high numbers have different bio info on the back even though the fronts are the same. Also, to be complete, you probably need both Greenberg and Greenburg.

Technically, the Diamond Stars is considered an extension of the Old Judge set, so you're going to have to get those cards too.

When these things start to become an aggravation it moves from being a hobby to self-torture.

I think the answer to your questions is yes, they are part of the set and to have a "complete" set you would need them.
What you would have without them is a partial or low number set.
