Well, in my world,...
It's completed when either of the following two conditions exist:
1) I lose interest and move onto another goal or 2) I make whatever concessions to the definition of the collecting goal so as to make its completion possible. Dude, it's whatever you WANT!!!  ...but you can't have one single card satisfy a spot in two or more sets. Dude, that's cheating!

According to the strict standard, it is when I own every known copy of every card in the set. For some sets, I work with a looser standard and say that the set is complete when I have one of each front. For my favorite sets, the fronts must be complete and all the backs must match.

Complete?
Like Mark, I don't think I am ever done. My collection is always a work-in-progress. Even if I have a 'set', I can still find better condition examples of the cards. It's the joy and the curse of collecting, at the same time.

There have been some good opinions here. The goal for me is to get a different example for each theme, which is where I was leaning towards... Thanks - Rob
