15¢ and 20¢ coverprice Bronze-Age booksare hard to find in Mint grade mostly because ofnewsstand distribution. The nature of the business really reduced the possiblenumber of Mint / Near Mint books because of delivery (tied with twine inbundles) and display (in metal spinner racks) that causedproblemswith the cover and spine even before any kids got their grubby hands on them,bent them, perused them, shared them, rolled them, and bent back the cover to read them.Considering the odds, it's amazing that any books in NM condition ever made it through the process.This is themain reason for the extreme pricing for anything in an Overstreet grade of 7.0 or higher and the desire for more affordable reading copies of Key Issues, like this book. 12¢ cover prices dominated the Silver Age during the 1960s and it was right around the time of the next major price hike in the 1970s that ended the Silver Age and15¢ books heralded the beginning of the Bronze Age of Comics.

Provenance: This Bronze Age issue has been in my collection for a couple of decades and has been stored in a pet-free, smoke-free, air-conditioned environment during my ownership. The previous owner was unknown, but this was purchased while working for Collectors Comics in Wantagh, NY after a collection came into the shop. I put it aside thinking that one day, I would replace this copy with a better one if it one ever showed up, and luckily it eventually did. This book traveled with me to Florida and has not seen the light of day for quite some time.
Sold as is. I personally did a page count and will attest that the book and all pages are complete.
Batman #243 and #244 are in Very Good condition. Well read copies complete and solid. Supple cream pages. FYI: I personally review and page-count every book I sell, checking for insidious rips/tears coupon clippings, or ....Missing Marvel Stampsor clipped Palisades Park amusement admissions ...or additional drawings by previous owners, centerfolds or pin-up pages missing, hidden money, etc, etc. I try to list any and all major defects as possible, but I'm only human and can miss or forget some minor details.
I have 40+ years of experience grading comics, but grading is subjective and I only offer my opinion for your convenience. Along with my grading evaluation, I also give the objective Overstreet definitions for your convenienceas well. This is not to imply or infer or guarantee that a CGC or CBCS grading / slabbing of this book will match my grading opinion, although I'm hoping that it will be close.There are no returns accepted, so please ask questions beforehand. I'll gladly and quickly respond to any inquiries or additional picture requests. I want you to be happy with your purchase. :)
