Hard to find books, hard to find grade, all vere cool (my favorite cover pictured above ).

So, any thoughts on what the extra numbers could mean?
Could be the number of regular display copies (10) and the number of "hold" copies (2).
Could be.
Another thing I find interesting is that some Church books, like Boy Commandos #9, have a "1" as the number of copies. Now, considering they new they already had 1 copy sold to Church, why would they not order at least 2 copies, 1 for Church and one for the racks?

Joe Simon, in his autobiography, said that Boy Commandos was their biggest selling book.

I actually like Boy Commandos!
.....I like 'em too. D.C. was putting out the reprint title in the early 70's and I thought it was neat. I was already an S&K fan by then....even making inquiries about Back issue availability of Sandman in Adventure from mail order dealers....they were as much as an AF 15...about $ 25......which was a LOT of paper route money GOD BLESS...

GOD BLESS...
