Steve,
I had SGC look at the card at the Chicago National in '05. At the time, they were treating the factory stamp as ink, and it would only cross to a VG 3 at that point.
As you, tbob, leon, scott (any of the obak collectors), know -- SGC has moved their policy and I am unsure if its yet clarified.
I have Obaks graded Nr/Mt by SGC with a factory stamp. I also have EX and better Obaks in VG 3 SGC slabs. I also have a few cards in SGC slabs of EX or higher with no mention of the factory stamp -- and yet there is a stamp (to me, this is the most frustrating). I haven't made a submission in four years, so I have about 60 cards total for review once clarity is given by the guys in NJ. Unfortunately, you can't by an SGC Obak without a back scan as the label/guidelines have moved so frequently over the years...
To specifically answer your question, this Weaver is VG/EX. If SGC labels the card "Stamped Back" and then assigns a technical grade independent, it should cross easily (possibly a bump, as I have seen SGC 5 Obaks in similar condition but its probably best in a 4 holder). If the current whim is to downgrade due to the factory stamp, it will only cross to a VG 3.
