HankronI agree with Jay and Scott in that it would be difficult to forge the patented Old Judge bow (meaning, the lateral curvature to the cardboard and photographic print).
As far as unwritten conditons go, I think the bidder should relay with what is written, or obtain the needed exceptions to the rule in writing. For practical if not courtroom purposes, email likely will suffice (Potential bidder to seller via email: "What happens if the cards turn out to be reprints or counterfeits? Will you accept returns then?" Seller: "Yes, it it turns out to be a forgery or modern reprint you can return it." ... If it turns out seller's answer is, "The rule specifically says 'No Returns.' If you don't like the conditions don't bid," will you still bid?). I doubt many judges find as acceptable an argument, "Yeah, I know that it was specifically written down in the contract that I could only return the item within 10 days, but I just assumed he would let me return it after 20."
