Looking to sell Complete Collection of 1930-2003 + the Complete 1920 set

Hey National Geographic lovers! I'm looking at selling a complete set of National Geographic magazine dating from 1930 to 2003 as well as the full set from the year 1920. The 1920 set is in great condition especially for it being 89 years old. The 1930-2003 set is mostly in great condition, some show a little wear from reading.

I know the post 1960 editions are not worth much, but the older ones definitely are valuable, so I wanted to get your professional opinion to what this huge National Geographic set would be worth. I don't want to make the mistake of regretting selling them for far less than they're worth.

Here is a photo of the 1920 set for example of quality.

My mother's complete set of bound national geographic magazines from the 1920 to 1980's was destroyed in a fire. And I am working on an insurance claim as to what it would cost to replace same.
Do you have any ideas?

Wow. I know the ones before 1930 can be worth money, but I'm not sure how much.

Is your 1920 set still available?  Where are you located?  I'm in Bancroft, Ontario, Canada.

Sorry, but these all got sold about 4 years ago. I should have posted that up here.
