Consider a common hypothetical situation on ebay where the seller pictures an item and in the description claims it was "in decent shape for being 70 years old" and then said the item is being sold "as is." Upon arrival it is determined the card is actually a forgery, done much more recently. Does the "as is" claim of the seller sup recede his statement of "being over 70 years old?"

To take it one step further, what would be the difference between that case and a seller selling a PSA 7 card "as is" and it shows up as a PSA 4? Does a claim of "as is" sup recede all other statements made in the auction or do the other claims override the "as is?"

The additional factor to this is would ebay or Paypal do anything to protect the buyer in these cases?

Thoughts?
