The bigger issue is that the good counterfeits can get PSA or BGS graded (either officially, or a fake slab). PSA guarantees that their graded cards are genuine

With an Alpha Black Lotus going for over $500K, it's only a matter of time before undetectable counterfeits exist.
- __turbobrew__ 5y agoI wouldn’t be surprised that within the next 20 years MTG counterfeits will only be detectable by lab tests (testing for ink and paper age, etc). If this happens providence and seller reputation will become a more common factor in MTG — much like in high end art and antiques. At the highest end (Power 9) seller reputation is already a factor.
