The problem now will be that they won't be able to change their grading
levels because they have already graded thousands of stills in the current
categories. If they changed the gradings now that would upset many of the
people who have purchased stills with the old gradings.
Looking at the definitions - "ORIGINAL - A photograph printed from the
original negative." I guess that means that the photograph could have been
printed yesterday whereas a Vintage photograph was printed from the original
negative at the time the photo was taken. They appear to be saying that the
top end of the scale is Vintage with Original as a "second best".

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Slabbing Question
let us not forget they only began slabbing stills when they were requested
to by Jay Perino
seeing as he was going to give them 1000s of pieces to grade, he
essentially helped them create the definitions
Jay is a well known coin dealer, but in comics & movie posters - he knew
next-to-nothing when he got involved in them and it has always been my
impression that CGC pretty much followed his instructions on the
definitions
that's why the rest of us do not agree with their terminology
