I think the embarrassment / possibility here that we all don't want to admit is that someday fakes that good will be so common, that none of us know the difference. And that thought genuinely terrifies me.
It would be a concern if you still are an active buyer, for sure. At least for slabbed cards, older certs would only be subject to the current risks.
