I think QR code would make a nice addition. I'd still provide the hardcopy since the QR code is unlikely to outlive the company if the company fails for whatever reason. The hardcopy could become separated from the card, but would be more likely to survive for a long time.
I'm trying to recall the oldest Stamp certificate I've seen on an available stamp. There are certainly some out there from the 70's as I can recall seeing one with a 1979 cert. The APS issued their first in 1903, but many collectors will have them redone if they're a few decades old. New information comes out, and being thin paper the condition can change. (even before grading they would mention certain types of flaws like creases, disturbed or missing gum etc. )
