I only have 1 restored book in my entire cgc collection.  It is slight color touch, I thought about seeing if you wanted it, but it also has the top of cover trimmed.

Unfortunately

That ugly mug on the cover never looked so clean and fine for a 9.4

Nice copy

All low graders, but I'm going to enjoy the heck out of them.

I've got the power!

Getting, getting, getting kind of heavy  

I've got the power! Err of a fly  for $45 getting kind of hectic

^ Solid writing from Mantlo. Standout covers for me are #9 (Byrne/Austin), #19 (Layton), and surprisingly these;  #16 (Lubbers/Mcleod) and #8 (Robbins/Esposito) - one of the few Robbins pieces I truly like. I'd post them but I've owned them for years so do not qualify for this thread. The interior art on most issues is not my cup of tea.

Excited to snag this beauty, I had an 8.0 but always wanted higher. It seems this book doesn’t show up terribly often in high grade or something…

and in grade DOES seem seldom.

Factored into my feeling the need to jump all in without a doubt while the iron was hot.

I don't collect DC but is it really that hard to find a 9.0+ copy of a well-known Batman book from 1970?

As far as on eBay, there is 1-9.0 and 1 9.6 cgc for sale  so it's not like there are "options in price", and none other in the 9's for sale.

Just did a quick census lookup of Batman #227 vs. Amazing Spider-Man #91 (also December 1970):

• 9.8 - 9 vs. 44
• 9.6 - 19 vs. 86
• 9.4 - 53 vs. 140
• 9.2 - 45 vs. 103
• 9.0 - 86 vs. 119

So yeah, that is a significant difference.

I definitely think it depends on your definition of rare…I don’t mean to say it’s super rare, but I think there is something in the range of only 200 or so of these universally graded in the 9.0 and up category. Pretty low considering, the deep black cover with yellow lettering doesn’t help I would guess. This is from a layman collector though, far from an expert Lou! Lol.
