FWIW, I held that card in my hand a couple of times as Joe used to bring his treasures to the Chantilly Show to share with (OK, and show them off to) his hobby friends. The card appeared to me to be clearly within the VG range of grading, so I think SGC got it right. Had I sent it in for grading and it came back a GD, it would have been disappointing. Of course, Joe wouldn't have cared either way since, to the best of my knowledge, he never sent cards in for grading.
