Phil, Just a heads up. the Dec 1969 Space Record has been added to the Map/Sup list at XYZ (at my request). You might want to mark it as being in your collection. The site is very well maintained. They've made two changes for me (almost immediately).
Marts: Mel & I are using a discussion forum to chat about XYZ. Join us there instead of posting on the comment wall.

Hi Philip, thanks for the welcome. I originally found this site in hopes of selling my National Geographic map collection, which is about 90 maps from 1959 through to 1989, to a good home. But, while browsing the site I thought about how I would like to keep the maps concerning space (the Moon, etc) and get them framed. I was wondering if you good people had any suggestions for framing of the N.G maps?
And if anyone is interested in the other maps, I can provide a list.
Thanks, in advance.
Hi Chuck,
A member of this map group named Jeremy has a web site that sells frames for double sided maps and supplements.Here is his link: http://www.hindsightframes.com
I hope this is some help,
Phil
Thanks, Philip! I'll definitely take a look.
On the subject of the maps, do they have any value and/or are they desired at all by N.G. collectors, if they are without the issue they came in. I have about 90, near-mint maps, from 1959 to 1989 and I was hoping to find a good home for them at a fair price for both parties.
Thanks again.
Chuck
Chuck,
Your maps are basically the atlas maps of the 60's and the closeup maps of the 70's & 80's. Unfortunately they are very, very common maps with little value to collectors. I've seen sets like yours sell for $10 to 20$ as a lot of 90 maps on E-Bay.The problem is more than 3 milllion of each map were printed.. I hope this helps you out...
Best,
Phil
