Strange Mysteries #3 is one of the rarest horror books you will ever hope to get your hands on. Featuring a fantastic vampire cover, this CGC 9.4 copy of the book, taking bids at Heritage Auctions right now, is not only the highest graded copy in the CGC Census but is also only the third copy they have ever seen come through there. It seems to me that it should be sitting at more than $825, which is what it is selling for as of this writing. Check out one of the rarest horror comics you will ever see below.
