Ebay question on what constitutes a complete set.

[ALR-bishop]

There was a thread in post war sometime back where set collectors debated whether traded sets should be considered part of the base set or perhaps part of a master set. Most seemed to feel the base set stands alone but some felt, me among them, that you needed the traded set for a complete set, or at least a part of a master set. But I would never expect to get the traded set included in a listing like the OPs unless it specifically said so
