Complete Collection 1888 - 2005 Value?

We've been asked to assign a monetary value to a complete collection of National Geographic Magazines, beginning with the first 1888 issue and continuing through 2005. They are being donated to a charity. These are NOT reprints and they are NOT bound. Any idea what the value might be? Or where we should start? Thank you!

Phil, I'd like to thank you for your referral.

I was contacted by Atlanta Vintage Books and asked to do an appraisal of an NGM collection.

I was given permission to post the results, with personal information relating to the "previous" owner omitted.

Please see the attached spreadsheet with the results.
