All forgeries are not created equal, though, Chuck. There are many--myself included--who do not believe FDEs are as serious a problem as the other TPAs.
FDEs authenticate garbage that wouldn't fool anyone who's looked at a few valid exemplars for, say, five minutes. Their CoAs are not taken seriously by anyone "in the hobby." Our favorite TPAs, on the other hand, authenticate items that will fool serious collectors. Their CoAs are taken very, very, seriously, indeed.
