Two possible situations come to mind. Some equities have both quarterly, and monthly options. This happens a lot with major indexes.

Looked up both option symbols, found the VGRBW, for Feb08 for 17.50 strike price, but when I tried to pull up GVXBW, it just took me back to the VGRBW symbol. Perhaps you were looking at a different expiration month? Or simply misspelled the symbol?
