Will detection technologies keep pace and be able to identify perfect fakes by micro signatures that aren’t detectable by humans? And if so, will this technology be widely available or too expensive to be practical?

Of course, this type of tech will produce serious problems outside our little hobby too, so it’s use may be strictly regulated. But then you might still have parties in third countries using it...

Interesting food for thought
To the bold section. LOL, why not just use the exact same type of machine that made the originals. It boggles my mind that people think that printing a picture on a piece of paper is somehow hard to do. Nothing needs to be developed it has been here as long as the ability to make the originals. Same goes for making the plastic slabs.

The part that amazes me the most is that is has not been done more than it already has been.
