the420kid Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 If you weed through a lot of GA books on the net, you will eventually bump in Cookeville books. I've seen that SN more times than I can remember. speaking of...just got this in the mail a few days ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walclark Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks for the kind words, everyone. As I said, there is a certain "hometown" pride for me in association with this collection. And I think these types of personal histories help me to connect with some kid from 50, 60, 70 years ago who, a lot like me, loved to buy, read, and keep comics. Kind of like this guy, the boy with the most comic books in America... This one has the less well recognized "NN" initials. path4play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehumantorch Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 What a great thread. Cuts through all of the board drama and silliness and shows just how good and informative a thread can be. It would be nice if we had a similar thread for every other major pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walclark Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 In 1991, Rick Frogge was approached at the monthly Nashville Flea Market by a friend of the original owner asking if he bought older collections. He was putting out the word that the OO wanted to sell his large collection of Golden Age comics and was talking to the dealers set up at the weekend flea market. Rick was approached, as was Harry Thomas. Rick set up a meeting for a couple days later to view the collection. When Rick was calling Mr. Mackie to arrange the initial viewing of the collection, Mr. Mackie kept saying how much he liked "Marvel." Rick began to think this was going to turn out to be a Silver Age collection (which wasn't real exciting in 1991). Here's what Mr. Mackie was referring to when he said he liked "Marvel," Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walclark Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Apologizes for bringing this thread back from the dead, but I thought it would be the appropriate spot to show a couple of items. one old and one new. First, I picked up this Adventure #46 from nearmint (thanks, Jeff) a couple of years ago. When it arrived, I got a closer look at the writing on the front cover. It's a Cookeville! When you pair it with this Cookeville that I bought at an LCS in that town, I've got a mini-run of Cookeville Sandman covers. snitzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walclark Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 On to the new thing. Just picked this up. The primary collector of the Cookeville collection was Leroy Mackie, but some of the books in the collection belonged to his brother, James. Found this neat little item. Of course, it lacks the SN initials because it wasn't purchased at the local store where the two brothers bought their comics, but was a subscription copy.
