Default Old Put Overprints

I tend to agree with some of the thoughts given thus far in this thread. While a single color stamp such as an Old Put seems like an easy item to forge, we saw in the case of the green background Jennings with a fake stamp that it was clearly easy to see that it was a fake. I'm not saying that it can't be done, but hopefully the grading companies are taking notice of the recent fakes that have come to life in recent times and are being a little more conscious of there efforts to detect these frauds.
(Oh, if they are grading fakes, can they be held liable for damages for not doing there job as an authenticator? This could be for a seperate thread)
