The rest are ok.I dont wont to throw them a way but I need the space. What do I do with them? Thanks for taking the time.

Any before 1905 have real value even coverless assuming text block is complete and clean.
Most before 1920 have some value, but condition becomes more critical
Inventory them and send me as detailed description of condition as possible

I'll repeat what I told you last night, there is more potential value on individual issues than in a set valued less then $300-$500. If you have time, energy and motivation to list individually on eBay or other electronic auction, some issues will go for considerably more than Geographic collector would pay because of topic included in the issue. I'd advise you to look at how other eBay posters list contents (often it is the pictorial or the illustrated plates that have the most value) of a particular issue. Don't feel bashful about using another successful seller's description in posting your own auctions.
Again, if you have the time and motivation you probably can realize from individual sales far more then any collector might pay for the set.
Good luck

Hi
I am looking for a March 1905 issue that doesn't have to have covers or ads as it will be bound in a book to replace that month that is water damaged. Would you have it and also, where are you located. If you are close enough, I might be interested in the lot. Thanks kipp
