Default Counterfieting

I watched the PBS show a few days ago and it was awesome. It shows how someone counterfeited an entire 17th century Galileo Galilei book that fooled the experts. It was a few years later before someone figured out the entire book was a forgery.

I post this as I have said for easily 30 years this is what was going to make the cards in our hobby completely worthless. I am beyond amazed it hasn't already.

If someone can counterfeit an entire 400 year old book. Imagine how easy it is for someone to counterfeit a little piece of cardboard with a picture and some writing on the back.
