Search for Mike High & Reilly/SF pedigrees and you will see D and G (Gilboy) Distributor codes with numerical months and days written on a lot of them. These are important markings specifically for most of these peds.

VG/F - 5.0

Structurally, it’s much nicer. The dust shadows have always impacted the grade for me. I can see CGC going with 6.0 or 6.5. Nice colors for sure.

Every retailer would have their own "codes" to identify arrival dates for record keeping. Typically, we see "R" then the date, which probably meant "received." Perhaps "Y" meant "year" in this case but was not specified in the type? Numerical codes (call back numbers), such as "73" for More Fun Comics on the Larsons, were more significant as they marked codes for retailers to re-order that particular title.
