Depends on the set for me. My 52 Topps is just incomplete until I do the high numbers and get a Mantle.
T206 is plain incomplete without Wagner and Plank. Doyle, O’Hara, Demitt and Magie’s expensive versions are not needed, as they are variations for a master set, which would be thousands of cards and include all front/back combinations. Blank backs, Lenox brown, and other unissued scraps are not needed for a master set.
My 54 Bowman set is complete without Ted Williams, as their is another 66 variation. Williams is a master set card
The 33 Goudey is complete at 239, as Lajoie wasn’t issued, wasn’t released until the netext year, and doesn’t even have the same design. It’s more of a cool extra related card than part of the actual set.
