entalmighty1 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Thought on this one? I'm thinking probably not, but I guess it's possible. The "SN" is in the N in National. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s always possible and unfortunately, there is not a master list. There was so much variation in the initials that both of the Nationals posted above could make an argument for being a Cookeville copy.

entalmighty1 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I found my raw copy in an old Heritage auction. Apparently from the "Prospect Mountain Collection," whatever that is. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why either couldn't be from the collection. ? entalmighty1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it seems possible the collector who assembled it could have bought the Cookeville copy. entalmighty1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 This was sold as a Cookevilie on EBay. I didn't bid for a pedigree as I got this for $26. but thought I'd look it up to see what this collection was about. Sure doesn't look like any of the markings in this thread so I would say No to that designation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walclark Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 @50YrsCollctngCmcs Actually, that is a Cookeville. There were multiple family members that worked at the store where the Mackie brothers bought most of their comics. Their names are lost to the ravages of time, but there were two sisters that worked at the family store, one whose first name started with “S” and the other with “N.” Just speculation on my part, but earlier copies mostly had SN and later in the collection the NN was seen more. Maybe NN was a younger sister that worked in the store as she got a bit older. I really wish CGC would correct the write up about the collection. The two sisters were not the Mackie’s sisters. If they were, the initials would be SM and not SN. And if your family owned the store, why would you be buying comics from your own store?

Robot Man Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I have a fair amount of Cookvilles. But this one is maybe my favorite. Since the old boards and Photophucket dumped the picture, thought it might be fun to post it again. Bought from Stephen Ritter at SDCC a number of years ago. He told me it was only one of just a few that had the original buyer's name actually on it. And no, NFS... Badger, walclark and Sqeggs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
path4play Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 What's the deal with this Cookeville, no SN, looks more like "Edger"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
