I have a Johnny Mize 1948 Bowman in my set that has literally a tiny chunk missing of the card. It's not huge - maybe like 1/12" or something. SGC clearly considered it more corner wear instead of part of the card missing and graded it a 4 VGEX (50, I think).
I understand that they can't be completely consistent all the time, but something like that is pretty ridiculous. VG means something different to everybody, I guess. But I think the Beckett description has always been pretty good - it essentially says some corner wear along with a hairline crease is acceptable. That qualifies more as Good or Fair-Good to me (assuming no creases/writing/etc.).
