The original flips had no number, just the alphabetic grade vg/ex, mint, etc.
I will find my NSCC program from the first Atlanta National where the PSA ad shows such flips. It has been years since I encountered the original flip with no numeric grade in the wild.

Another little known fact, for a brief period of time the lower end of the grading scale was different. From memory, it went Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent -- I had a VG 4 Goudey Gehrig.
