Green Lantern v2 #20 9.6

This is my most recent acquisition from the May 2008 Heritage Signature auction -- Green Lantern v2 #20 9.6 with White pages from the David N. Toth collection. Earlier this year, when I was casually looking at the CGC Census numbers for this issue first published in April of 1963, I was extremely surprised to see a new, solo NM+ 9.6 topping the chart. Needless to say, I didn't know who owned it or if it would even be available for sale.  Well, here it is, and in my Silver Age Green Lantern collection! While this is the third Green Lantern/Flash crossover in both of their respective comics (Green Lantern #13, Flash #131), in my opinion, this is the first cover, done artfully by Gil Kane and Murphy Anderson, which rendered both of the superheroes faithfully.
