Posted By: <b>Mark Evans</b><p>Not intended as criticism...merely an inquiry. EBay item # 5218263970 appears to be slabbed "VG 4." Did PSA at one time apply the "VG" designation to both 3's and 4's, or is the label in error? Thanks.

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>I would guess a labeling error. However, it looks like an early label and its possible that the designation assigned to each numerical grade has changed over the years. I checked the cert number on psa's website and its a legit number.

Posted By: <b>Peter_Spaeth</b><p>VERY early on PSA had a different grading system and VG was a 4. I had a Gehrig with this designation back in 91-92 maybe. They crossed it over to a VG-EX 4. They used to have some intermediate lower grade instead of a VG-EX.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>Yes, and a PSA 5 back then was a "RRVGWSOT"<br /><br />(Really really very good with sugar on top)<br /><br /><img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>has the funky "0" with the / thing going. I hadn't realized that they initially split poor and fair and only later threw them together to open space for vg-ex. I guess the jump from vg to ex was too big a gap.
