It is certainly possible, the relevant questions are:

If the technology to create perfect forgeries is developed, will it become mass produced and the type of thing available in every home? Or will it be prohibitively expensive so using it to make forgeries won’t be the best use of it?

Will detection technologies keep pace and be able to identify perfect fakes by micro signatures that aren’t detectable by humans? And if so, will this technology be widely available or too expensive to be practical?

Of course, this type of tech will produce serious problems outside our little hobby too, so it’s use may be strictly regulated. But then you might still have parties in third countries using it...

Interesting food for thought
