HankronI agree that the wording in the auction matters. If someone honestly writes "I have no clue what this is, or even how old it is. It looks like a baseball player, but I'm not sure as I don't follow sports. I just though I'd put it up on eBay and see if anyone knows what is is or wants it. Being sold as is", the buyer can't complain that they didn't get a genuine Old Judge .... On the other hand, if someone says "I'm offering for auction 1888 Old Judge, from the famous old baseball card set .... Sold as is", the winner either gets a genuine old judge or a refund. The 'as is' may apply to the card's grade or even trimming, but the winner still either gets an Old Judge or a refund.
