Individually bound April 1913 issue?

Has anyone ever seen an April 1913 Peru issue that has been individually bound?  While it looks nice I'm not sure what it would do to the value.  Here's a photo:

If it was bound complete, i.e. covers, ads and map and the aforementioned items were in good or better condition, I would imagine it might be worth the price the loose issues have been fetching lately on eBay, i.e. about $225.

Thanks Melvin.  I just found out that they took off the front and back covers during the binding process, so as a NG collector that pretty much kills the value as far as I'm concerned...

Hello John,

 

Does it have the map supplement included (either bound-in, or loose)? At any rate, this doesn't look worthless to me...I think I would be interested in it, if you are not wanting to keep it for yourself.

Is this the only such one you have, or do you have other NGM issues similarly bound? You can reply here or private message me here within Ning-NGS.
