complete sets

Nothing is missing

Complete sets refers to full collections with no missing pieces—all volumes of an encyclopedia, all cards in a trading card series, all pieces of a dinnerware pattern.

Collectors prize complete sets over partial ones: I finally found the last card to complete the set.

In weightlifting, completing your sets means finishing all prescribed repetitions of an exercise.
