Thanks, Scott. I'm hoping to find someone local to me to pick them up, but if I can't do that, I'll ship them out by year.

Tom, 1-year sets are probably the best chance (via eBay). It would be time consuming to sell individually (plus listing fees). If any of them are not in good condition, then those are not worth putting any effort into. - Scott S.

So I haven't gotten any kind of response... what do you guys think about selling on eBay? What's the best way to break the sets up to sell that way? One year, 5 year, 10 year lots?

About Me:
I've had a subscription to National Geographic since just before I was born and have been an avid reader ever since. My current collection runs from 1956 to 2008 with a few gaps that I'm trying to fill (about half of the issues from 1971 to 1974 and some from 2006 & 2008 when I let my subscription lapse.)
