If someone were to decide to make an "ultimate" tamper proof slab it would be possible but very expensive.

With almost any product there's a balance between expense and what's currently technically possible. Some of what's being done with cars is technically amazing.(Porsche 918 claims 78MPG and the Nurbergring record for a production car )But the cost is just as amazing.

The best change to the flips I can think of would be making them a tamper evident sticker stuck to the inside of the slab. Like the ones that come apart revealing the words "void" or "damaged" The change to the slab would only be a way to isolate the sticker from the card since the adhesives aren't at all archival. Add a hologram, and/or maybe a QR code linking to a scan and it's tougher to alter.

That could be done without much added expense, and would be effective until someone found a way to beat it.
