"Hi Nemanja, just wanted to give you my thoughts as a supplement to the information Scott has provided.
1. Once you get into NGS collecting, you'll realize there are so many different categories of NG collectibles. The NG Magazine is the most…"
"Hi Tobias,
National Geographic never bound their own magazines, at least not for public sale. There were a small number of independent publishers/book-binders, such as Albrecht, that published covers for the NGM. People could buy these covers and…"
"These all appear to be what is called the Albrecht 'plane-and-globe' binding, which most would consider one of the better or more attractive bindings for the NGM. It is very rare to find such an extensive collection covering the years 1918…"

Hi Dale,
You have mentioned some good friends. I have not talked with Howard and his wife Jane for years. I purchased some unique items from them. I basically stopped collecting in the early 2000's as it became harder and harder to fine the items I wanted; also my collection is so large it developed a life of its own. There is not much that I don't have. I would like to talk with you about collecting. My email is pjepdds@aol.com

Any suggestions what should I do with them other then throw them out ! Thanks Just feels wrong !

Three options:
1. I know a collector in Melbourne who is looking for many of the magazines you have and might be prepared to cover costs for posting them to Melbourne, or pick them up. You'd have to send me your email address so I can forward it to them so you can both discuss.
2. Give them to the Salvos (or any Opportunity Shop). They usually sell them. Old magazines make great dentist/doctor waiting-room reading.
3. Give them to a primary school who may use them for their pictures for projects, etc.
4. Put an free ad in one of those online sales sites (Gumtree?) to sell individual magazines as gifts for individual birthdays (birth month).
I would be interested in getting the December 1960 issue. Although I already have copies of this, I want one to keep with some Apollo 11 memorabilia I have.
Please don't throw them out.....
