Is anyone interested in buying NG or protective sleeves for National Geographics?

We had a complete collection but recently someone set a fire to the building where they were stored and now they are destroyed.  Such a sad sight.   We do have some empty protective sleeves and lots of misc NGs that were stored elsewhere.  I don't have an inventory yet, but many are in boxes and from the 1930s on up.  Is anyone interested in buying either the sleeves or the magazines themselves?  I'm not getting any interest in the regular donation places, yet I don't want to just throw them out with the burned up ones.

That is a little to far for me, up here in Wisconsin. Try the gal that runs "Hearts for Ethiopia" on eBay. She might take what you have. She is in Texas.

Are the empty protective sleeves made of acid free paper or archival plastic?

They are the plastic (Burgandy color).
