The certificate would not prove it is CBB. It would state it. Not exactly the same.

That said, John Martino does produce platynota from his adults.

Not sure why he would or would not do the certificate, but it is not the norm in the chelonian corner of the hobby, so maybe he felt it unusual (and unnecessary). For instance, he could be worried that someone might try to justify a smuggled animal down the road using a certificate with his name and so forth on it. Even if you are totally above board, that would spring into my mind if someone asked me for such a thing.
