Not sure anyone would be able to tell that it wasn’t real. Certainly for the basic set anyone could assemble it in about 24 hours. Even in high grade, if you had enough cash, it wouldn’t take more than a year or two. Might set you back $1M or $2M, but you could pretty quickly take the top spot. And it’s not like there aren’t people with that much cash lying around to blow on cardboard.
And even when it comes to some of the larger Mays sets, aside from a few cards that are in very short supply, you could probably assemble 320 of the 356 cards in the master mays set without it being a big deal. And for the rest, it’s not like I would know that you didn’t really have it. You couldn’t add my cards to your set because they’re already in my registry, and that would certainly make it difficult to get some pieces where mine is the only one.
With Mays there’s no dead giveaway like having a fistful of Wagners and Planks, so even in a case like where there’s only 3 total Mays dice game cards graded by PSA (one is mine), if you added 1 of the other 2 to your set (assuming the real owners haven’t already locked them up in the set registry), I sure wouldn’t know that it was all just fake.
