1 = Poor
2 = Fair
3 = Good
4 = Very Good
5 = Excellent

There wasn't a VG-EX grade. This was changed shortly after to:

1 = Poor to Fair
2 = Good
3 = Very Good
4 = Very Good to Excellent
5 = Excellent
"
That makes more sense to me than this being the result of a textual limitation on the slab. Never knew about this - I wonder how often these cards surface and if PSA makes an effort to reholder them for free given the confusion they cause.
