It's your collection, you get to do it as you want it. I have a t205 set without the stray line variations. Doesn't bother me in the least. I have a T206 519 working toward 520. It is unlikely I would get a Plank and honestly i think the Magie is overrated...and if I get to a 520, I'll be quite happy. You don't think it's complete? I don't care, it's my collection not yours.

Diamond Stars
I consider the set complete at 108, with the 12 high numbers. Collecting all the green and blue backs and variations is ridiculous in that set. A 'set' of 96 is reasonable, too, because you would have one of every player. Like some of the others have said, the hobby is for you to decide what you enjoy best.

a set
A "set" can be whatever you want it to be. Personally, I would include high numbers in a set but maybe not variations that were errors. (If I collected sets)
I have been searching for a few specific types for many years. As I told someone in an email a few minutes ago, the hunt is a big part of the fun.

I would say it would be "complete" with every variation. But so what? Why does it "HAVE" to be 100% complete right NOW or it's all a complete failure? If you want to collect a complete Diamond Stars then collect a complete Diamond Stars. Collections are journeys not deadlined tasks. If its not 100% complete so what? I think a 50-75 or 80% complete Diamond Stars would be a pretty cool kick butt collection on its own. I'd rather have even a 50% DS or 25% T206 thàn say a 100% 1986 or a 1990 anything collection.
You never know what the future holds. There are cards that I thought I would never own that I do own in my collection now. I think you should keep doing what you want to have. Diamond Stars are awesome cards. Sure it might be hard. But like Jimmy Dugan said in "League of Their Own" 'it's the hard that makes it fun' (or something like that).

I am by nature a set chaser. T206 provides a perpetual thrill of the hunt. To deprive yourself the joy of owning a Donlin Fielding or Chase w/ Trophy because you will never own a Wagner is massively unfair to the 520ish other T206s that are ready and willing to provide you with a lifetime of joy!
