The price could go down just by printing entire sheets
Since legit graders like SGC can spot trims, they should be able to spot the sheet cuts in the future - PSA could also, but would they? (shut up Scott). Also, in the far future the paper fiber may still be very difficult to 'disguise' as old. I don't know about dating ink.
One thing forgers have going for them is that no one's going to want to give up ink or fiber samples for testing.
