Do grading companies punish for printing errors?

Also, when did they start adding half grades? You may have gotten a 3 because they didn't offer 3.5s at the time.

Card looks absolutely properly graded. Tough to get any better than a 3 with that high level of corner wear add any creasing and a 3 is absolutely the best you should expect.

IIRC, the half grades were incorporated after they started designating the advertising back on the flip. Since this card doesn't list "Sweet Caporal" on the flip, it was graded prior to the half grade system.

That said, I agree with the others that this probably wouldn't get the half grade bump if resubmitted because of the crease and corners.
