Which Bound issues do you have? I know you said 50's 60's and 70's but can you tell me the exact year ranges for those?

Thanks,

--Josh

Hello Josh- I will unpack these again for you.
You will have to tell me if you are within range to pick them up.

[Elaine N. Jenks]

I'm glad to know there is some interest.

[Joshua Dylan]

Where are you located in Maryland? I have a friend who is going to be in the state next week maybe he will be in the area.

[Joshua Dylan]

Sadly I am not in range to pick them up, but I was hoping maybe you could ship them my way. I went on USPS.com and too a rough estimate from Maryland to New Jersey and 50 lbs. could be shipped for about $20. The one good thing about shipping Magazines is there is that wonderful Media Mail Rate ;]. If you are apposed to shipping them that is fine, I completely understand.

[Elaine N. Jenks]

I live in MD, about 14 mi. S. of the Beltway (I-95/495) S. on Rt. 210 along the Potomac.
The bound volumes have 6 issues in each, 2 volumes per year; including 1959 to 1978; all issues included. 20 years x2 ea.= 40 binders
The 40 binders each weigh about 5 lb; = 200 lb.
$20 per 50 lb= 4x$20 =$80
I will also have to buy boxes.
You will have to pay for shipping.

Maybe you would rather wait to see if I get any contacts from people closer to.
I am elderly and rather arthritic so I don't want to handle them any more than necessary.

Are you a collector or a dealer?

[BOB SORRENTINO]

Elaine, you could try the charity www.lupus.org or call 888 445 8787..they make regular pickups and specifically list NG as products they want. I believe they probably serve the MD suburbs of DC. You might also try the Viet Veterans @ www.wepickup.org or call 800 VVA (882) 1316. Their home office is in Silver Springs MD
