In order to receive any serious offers, it would be useful to know if the collection consists of single issues or bound issues or a mixture of both.
Then some idea of the condition of the older issues at least, from 1909 to 1919, then from 1920 to 1939.
Photos would be a big help.

Fair enough - I will get on this...I'll try to post more info soon. ( :

[james zehr]

what state is this collection in?

[Erika Archer]

Which part of the collection do you mean? Here's the quick answer - will post photos soon...

1908-1913 - see above for more detail, but 1908-1909 is not in great shape. The covers are dry, falling off. 1910-13 is better, but similar. Some covers are missing. I'll try and post pics in the next 24 hours.
1914-40 is in good shape. The covers are all intact, only some use dimples on the very top lips of the center bindings.
The rest is also in good shape.

Like I said, I'll try and post pics soon! Do you have an interest in any part of the collection...or all of it?

[Ron Ross]

Have you established prices for the 1908 through 1913 NG magazines? Do you have some of the maps/supplements that go with those issues?

[Erika Archer]

No, I'm afraid I have not established prices. I do have a whole collection of maps that accompany them in envelopes. Feel free to make me an offer. ( : I just posted a couple of pics up top, but I could send you more details if you'd like to contact me directly. [e-mail]
