Not sure if this qualifies as "high grade" but it's definitely a tough find. I remember spending the majority of my first year here on the boards trying to track down a copy of this book and I managed to obtain readers copy from a fellow board member (Hepcat, if I'm not mistaken) but I never came across a high grade until recently. I was fortunate enough to win this copy in the last Comic Connect auction:

I had this in my sales thread but just yanked it.....it's just too cool to sell. I had never even seen this one before, let alone a nice copy. So many of these DC SciFi / Fantasy issues are devilishly tough in grade. The interior stories are as cool as the cover. GOD BLESS...

I love that issue. Don't blame you for pulling it.

 

It seems to me that Unexpecteds are a bit more scarce than HOS, HOM, or MGA. Anyone else have an opinion on which of these series is scarcest?

I don't believe I've posted these early Mystery in Space issues here yet:

Nice copies! MIS is my favorite title. Think I still need 4 of the Infantino/Adam Strange issues. 88 has been a bear to find in decent shape, for some reason.
