It would be even cheaper to open Photoshop and create your own.
You said — It would be even cheaper to open Photoshop and create your own.

That’s exactly what might be in the process of being peddled right now. All you need is some other copy or two of a legitimate one, and know how their system works, what kind of paper is need and any other pertinent details, and you would be “home free” to creating your own to sell on eBay.
The fact that you can *only examine it* on the steps of a public building and nowhere else — and you have to decide “on the spot” whether it’s satisfactory or not, that tells a lot, right there.
If the guy was really serious about *authenticating it* (which would increase the value exponentially, if done) — then all he would have to do is work with WorldNetDaily and get them to authenticate it, and give them an “exclusive” on reporting about all aspects of the document.
WorldNetDaily would *jump through hoops* to get that kind of deal and would do anything to work with the guy to do that. Can you imagine what kind of publicity WorldNetDaily would have, with an “exclusive” with this guy and this documentation. All other news agencies would have to get their information from them.
BUT, this guy won’t do that — and the only reason why I can think that he would not want to have it *really* authenticated by an outside source like WorldNetDaily (and them getting experts to do it) — is that he knows it’s fake.
His best chance is by the method he’s picked to do — to pass of a fraudulent document.
