Has "VG" been redefined?

This is the second one of these I've found in the past week or 10 days. A card with multiple obvious rips on the front, graded VG by PSA. We used to call these "poor" or worse. If this is the way PSA is now grading ripped cards, I have quite a few that I'd like to submit.

I just picked up a PSA 3 M116 Abattichio with no creases not that long ago on ebay, that literally looks light years better then this. I'm fairly certain that my PSA 3 isn't undergraded and by comparison the Carew would be a generous PSA 1. Talk about letting one slip through the cracks.

Well, it's not like PSA hasn't been guilty of giving favorable grades to certain dealers. I'm willing to bet that one of these prefered dealers submitted this card.

Although I am in agreement that preferential treatment exists and is ongoing for frequent submitters, why would anyone preferred or not submit this card for grading?

Right or wrong, PSA seems to grade venezuela topps on a "curve".
