"Hi Wildbunch, thanks for your message. I’m sorry, I’ve decided not to sell by decade. Hoping someone will buy the whole collection or at least up to 1950. The only years I would sell individually would be the earliest ones."

"Hello:) do you still have decade of 30s left tor sale? Maybe even 40s?"
"Hi Robert - Yes indeed I am. Please feel free to email me at hcsorensen@hotmail.com with any questions. Happy Thanksgiving and best regards, Chris Sorensen"
"Hello, I would be very interested in the 1906-1950 section! Are you still selling? "
"Thank you very much Mel. What you say about decades makes sense. Do you think the market will improve? Or are the days of the NG collector essentially over, does everyone who collects pretty much have what they need from 1906-on? My dad loved his…"
"You've got the right ideas - but the market is extremely tough at this time. Sales are very sluggish.
Here's an eBay search for 1908:

Hi everyone, I posted three years ago after my dad died and never got around to doing anything about his NG collection. I’ve been thinking that I would donate every issue from 1950- (but where), then try to sell 20s, 30s and 40s as decades, and sell years 1906-1919 by the year (but where). Does this make any sense?

Best, Chris "
"No, sorry, it looks like I only have July 1905. "
"Hi Chris! This is quite the collection. I’m seeking
The National Geographic Magazine: Volume 16, January 1, 1905
Do you have this volume?
Thank you!

"Please list the pre-1906 issues available together with their condition. Thank you."
"It's a balancing act.
You'll probably obtain more for the most sought after issues - pre 1920's but it will be a long and hard trod and sales have been very sluggish these past two or three years.
All you can do is ask...
Mel"
"Thanks very much. Would you say that is better than eBay? Certainly less time-consuming. Again thank you."
"Try getting in contact with any of the NE dealers as listed in the Dealer Directory at the top left margin of the main page. They will most assuredly offer you rock bottom prices (as they're in the business to make a small profit) but they…"
