Jean, none of the Command Notes are listed as having a "best of issue" notation. Did any of them grade high enough to get "Best of Issue"?

[Scoutdad]

Terry, I believe the first one printed is usually the Best in Issue...

But maybe this time, the second one printed will be!!!!

Terry, yes, there was one.



That's all you wanted to know, right?
