Thanks Chris -
Obviously, anything graded by any company other than PSA, SGC, BGS/BVG, or the former GAI should raise some huge red flags. The Nolan Ryan cutout graded by PSA was the first "cut-out" I had seen by one of the major TPGs. I still am surprised by this.
As for the example you showed here, I think it was evident that this was crap.
You can make up your own acronyms for the manny shoddy TPGs out there. In this case, VSA = "very suspect authenticity" or "value sucking attempt", as in, I am going to suck as much value out of this paper crap as I can.
