ScottI bought "the Monster" after picking up my first few real t206s on ebay. When I saw that they only vaguely resembled real t206s, I started collecting scans - after years of searching, I finally completed my scan collection. Unlike Lee, I even have a Wagner and a Plank! So now I can pretend that I am a hoarder and all the real cards are simply in my vault.
I ended up mailing my "Monster" to my brother when he started collecting. As I began to accumulate real t206's, I created my own reprint set, printing a "sheet" each time I had 16 additional cards. You could do the same thing - each time you find a nice high-res scan on ebay of a t206 you don't have, just save it.
