I have seen this twice before, both coming from one consignor, and both had "Good 3" on the labels. He was a collector who went way back and I questioned him about them. He told me he remembers being told it was an issue with the number of letter characters they could use. "Very Good 3" couldn't fit in the second line which is why they went to using grade abbreviations like "VG" and "EX".
Can't confirm it is true but that would explain it.
