It's nice people have such faith in the CGC, but for a million dollar
book, a forger could spend $100,000 making his fake and still turn a
huge profit. I'm willing to bet that if someone put $100,000 into
creating an Action #1 forgery that it could be made to pass CGC muster.
But forgetting about the CGC, the forger could pull the same kind of
stunt we saw in high-end movie posters recently, doing private sales to
individuals for unslabbed comics. These would be represented as not
having been through the CGC because they were "recently discovered
treasures" or had been "in the hands of a private collector for 30
years" (long before CGC).

If we're still talking about the Action Comics sale, a forged comic
wouldn't get past the CGC, and that particular grading /
authentication service is what's holding the value, and allowed such a
high realized-price. As much as you want to complain about
Professional Grading, it does have that benefit.
