But... they didn't use "VG" here - they used "Good." To believe that story, we'd have to swallow that no one back then thought of using "VG" as an abbreviation when they recognized "Very Good" wouldn't fit and decided they should proceed with a "Good 2" and a "Good 3" as a result. VG has been a mainstream hobby grading term a lot longer then PSA has been around. I'm not buying. This is all aside form the fact that the card looks like it took a swim in the toilet and wouldn't qualify for a 3 anyway.
