William, if faking PMD's CoA is such a piece of cake, I wonder if it's worthy to keep doing them! The fact is that many collectors keep asking for those, at least for high-end pieces, and the prices of the pieces sold with such CoA keep selling for more money than others not having them!
Anyway, anything can probably be faked these days. As we know faking these awards is also so common, so does it mean we can't trust nothing at all these days? Not the awards, not the CoA, not any eventual CoG?...

Dolf,
You've seen fake NKVD docs, as well as other paperwork, which are more complex than certifiicates that Paul issues.
Anyone with the color printer and laminator can reproduce identical certificate. What makes Paul's certificate valuable is the fact that he keeps track of his certificates and will guarantee / provide more details when needed.
Problem is that in the future, when Paul not in the business anymore - there will be no one to back up his guarantees.
