user11611: Wiki has a couple of pages on opening traps, but I get the sense there must be more, and these are just representative samples:
List of chess traps
Checkmates in the opening
PS. The "10 move" limit is really just for practical reasons - I know that the opening can be longer, but I am just looking to make sure I don't fall for any famous trap early on in the game.... 

user4418: 
Is there a list of ALL potential mates/traps under 10 moves or so?

"No" is the obvious answer if you do the maths regarding just how many there could potentially (to use your word) be. Starting with all 32 pieces on the board the possible number of positions in the first 10 moves is mind-boggling.

user-1: I would suggest investigating Bill Wall's Chess Page, specifically:

700 Opening Traps
Miniatures that relate to your favourite openings, e.g. 500 Caro-Kann Miniatures
The PGN files related to you favourite opening
