Set minus..
I completed (IMO) a few months ago minus "the big 6". I didn't have the O'Hara and Demmit STL - and wasn't really looking for them. Time, money, etc all played in. I have since purchased a nice Demmit at the Chicago Sun Times show last month (SGC40), so am now down to the "set minus 5". May go for one of the O'Hara's in REA before it closes.
All slabbed/graded - mid-grade 3's to 6's (most of them are 4's and 5's) Took me about 3 years and never really focused on completing until I realized I had half by focusing on portraits, stars, a few SLers, etc. I think the opinions of "set-complete" are just that and fair on either side of the coin. Definitely agree with the sentiments on your set/your focus and rules as wall the Magie and Doyle aspect - can't see laying out that kind of $$$ for minor variations/errors. Side Note: Something hit me inside about paying almost 3x as much for the Demmit STL as I did for a nice Green Cobb in a 3! A lot of interest, fun, great hobby - great people. For me - I get out of it what I put into it and it's been a nice ride :-) Hope you stay with it.

I was somewhere in the 120's and said screw it and gave up, so I would advise to quit. Go through and keep the ones you like and sell the rest and buy what you like. If you change your mind down the road there will be plenty to get to start all over.
