The current CGC census only lists 43 of this comic graded higher than 5.0...in...the...world! (127 total in the Universal category). This is one of the the most desirable comics. It is included in all top 100 lists. Very few have sold in recent years making this is a must have classic!
From Wikipedia- "Puzzle expert Edward Nigma cheats at puzzles. He uses that angle to create a costumed criminal identity for himself, the Riddler. Using puzzle clues, he tips Batman off to his crimes. The Caped Crusader solves the Riddler's puzzles then tries to capture his tricky foe."
