"I'm losing interest. I slowly stopped reading them and just put them in the collection just to donate them to the library at the end of the year. I think the magazine should be enjoyed and read not sitting in a former bedroom with a whole lot…"

Saying Goodbye to the Corner.

Dear Corner.After a long time off the site, I have decided that I would leave the corner. You have all been great and extremely helpful. I will continue to expand, restore, and sell my National Geographic collection. With school, studies, projects, and another hobby I have put the National Geographic Magazine collection aside and put more focus on license plate collection and studies. I will remain for a few more days to say goodbye to people who have been helpful through my experiences. May…See More

I noticed on some posts that I was looking over, that you had some missing issues you were seeking.  Can you send me a list of what you are missing.  I'd like to see if I have any of the issues you are seeking.  Please send me alist at sandi.hanink@gmail.com   

At 3:43pm on June 10, 2020, Sandi Hanink said…

I do have extra issues for 1989.  What months do you need? 

I thought I had some hit and miss issues for the 70's  and was hoping I might have the ones you were seeking, but after checking my boxes, I found that I do not have any for the 1970's.  My collection is from 1980 thru current.  I have extra issues for some years 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 2000 & 2001
