I've been FTP since initial release and I've been able to secure every base card and then a whole bunch of special/full art. I just worry about collecting the base sets and whatever bonus 1* or 2* cards I get in the mean time are just a nice bonus. Trading definitely helps. Since trading comes out, I'll get all but about 5-10 of the base set each month and then just trade for the remaining few. Very easily honestly to get all the base cards anyways. PokeTrade is a life saver for getting those last few stragglers.
