Default Let's see some Mickey Mantle cards!!

From what I understand, they started the separate line labeling the same time as the half grades so you could tell if a card was graded before or after the new system. Your card looks like it has a better shot at a bump that mine did, but I kind of wonder if submitting it in the new style holder may have caused them to skip over it instead of giving it a better look. I could see it going either way but I saw a 3.5 '52 common that had worse creasing than my Mantle and it didn't seem to keep it from getting a bump. I was hoping for a 3.5 when I originally crossed it over from the BVG holder, but that was a bit of a strange experience in itself.
