Not sure how the seller was able to post this, as the title specifies a grade and it's not from one of the allowed TPGs.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Brilliant. Everything from the crazy acronym for CAC PCGS down to the misspelled AI-generated logo on the back of the slab is *chef's kiss*.

Carl's Antique Coins the Pacific Coast Grading Service (CAC PCGS). Absolutely genius trademark infringement and search + browse manipulation.

Totally deserving of that 96.9% feedback rating lol.

Yeah this is totally against ebay TOS but I think the automated system will be slower to catch it since it's "CAC PCGS" which are the names of two allowed TPGs.

Here are screen shots of both labels from this basement slab so that folks can continue to learn here after the auction gets removed from ebay:
