I found this one shopping for 1888-O's. I did send him a message that this is NOT a VAM-4 "Hot Lips" and the ebay policy of showing numerical grades from basement slabbers. Maybe a few more like "advisements" will show him the light? PG

Yup, highly egregious. Notice how he doesn't say it's a hot lips, just uses the words in the title then again in the description. Plus I like how he says all grading companies are different lol.

I bet with hot lips in the title bobby can get it gone if he's still talking to his contact.

Seller's listing does not mention VAM or Hot Lips anywhere, someone must have clued him in. Also no longer has a grade in the title.

Is it me or does this look way over graded? From pics I would have hard time giving it above a 62.

That's a bogus grade from a bottom basement "grading" company. I might give it a 63 on a good day. ebay should gong the listing because only the "Big Four" graders can be shown/referenced. PG
Rest in Peace

He may gotten sucked in on that coin himself. If you look at his past sales none of them are high end or "fake" slabbed
