Ebay question on what constitutes a complete set.

[bounce]

if it's called a "traded set", why would it part of the "regular set"?

parsing words to say a "complete set" should include both is pretty ridiculous in my view.

sorry to see this happening.

Who is in charge of this hobby anyway ? Let's ask them the official position.

When were the Traded cards called a set by Topps? The fact that Topps issued it as part of a complete set tells me all I need to know.

Why is it ridiculous when Topps issued a complete set and it included the Traded cards?

I disagree on both points 1972 Traded cards are clearly part of the set. One of the ways to tell that is they are on the checklist.
1974 Traded cards have there own checklist because they are an insert set.
