I've got a few questions. I've been slowly working on a complete basic topps and traded run.. I've still got a long way to go, I'm only at about 50%, with mostly everything 80-now, near complete sets from '73-79, and mostly HOF rookies earlier than that. Now I've run into two things that I'm not sure of. Should I count the '48 magic photos? And the other issue is with the 2002 traded set. Topps apparently short printed the entire first 110 cards of the set at a rate of 1 per pack. Should I count those 110 cards in a basic set?

Or should I ignore both the magic photos and the 110 '02 traded cards for now, and then maybe decide when I've completed, or at least come close to completing the run? Any thoughts?

That, and what are some good websites for getting affordable singles/commons?
