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…Continue

"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."

"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: National Geographic magazines, 12 months 1908 | eBay Watch this and see what it sells for, if at…"

Complete original set 1906 to 2019

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? I’m pretty busy so it’s hard to devote a lot to this but I can’t bring myself to haul them to the town recycling center! Any advice/reality checking is much appreciated. Thank you.…See More

"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"

Seek advice as to best way to sell my late father’s collection. Would like to balance efficiency with max price. Eg, sell most issues as one bulk set and sell earlier issues individually? I am not in any rush but assume most issues are not worth selling individually. Thank you. Chris from New York
