National Geographic's Collectors Corner

Collaborative site for collectors, dealers, & anyone interested in our history.

I have a complete set of magazines from 1961 through 2003 that belonged to my dad. I am interested in selling them, either as a complete set or as yearly sets. They are in excellent condition with the exception of having a musty oder. They were stored in his basement on shelves. There isn't any water damage, just the musty oder. I also have some individual issues from about 1947 through 1960. If I had time, I would love to go through them and read some of the articles, but don't have the time. If anyone is interested in them please contact me.

Mark,

If you had some time, I'd post some of the years on eBay (year sets). Start with the 1990's and 2000's at $9-12 per year. People buy them to fill in gaps.

If these issues are damaged or wrinkled or torn then honestly they are not worth any effort to sell. The musty smell alone can usually be aired out. Are they bowed (or, mis-shapen) from their long storage? I am just wondering in what positiion were they stacked...

Hi Scott,

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. They were stacked vertically, but tightly, with a stack on each end of the rows of about 15 magazines in the horizontal position. So none of them are bent or warped.
