House of Mystery #174 (DC, 1968) CGC NM+ 9.6
<B>House of Mystery #174 (DC, 1968) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white pages.</B></I> One of the breakout books of the past few years. Prior to this issue, Robby Reed of "Dial 'H' for Hero" had full reign over this title. With #174, the format became mystery, and new host Cain took over in the next issue. This book, featuring a striking Carmine Infantino cover, is not as common as one might think. High-grade copies are nearly impossible to find, seeing as how many languished in quarter boxes for years. Overstreet valued NM 9.4 copies at a mere $85 just four years ago; today they sell for upwards of $700. This beauty is the highest CGC-graded copy to date. Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $125. CGC census 3/07: 3 in 9.6, none higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
