National Geographic's Collectors Corner

Collaborative site for collectors, dealers, & anyone interested in our history.

To whom it may concern,

My name is Sue and I have a question hopefully you can answer for me.

I have 2 very old issues of the National Geographic Magazine.

The first one is the Nov-Dec Mid winder double issue from 1917, volume XXXII nos. five and six.
The second one is from July 1920 Volume XXXVIII number one.

Both are still in very good condition, I've kept them in an legal size envelope since finding them at a thrift store. I was wondering if you could tell me if they would be worth anything? Times are rough right now and even though I don't want to I have to start selling some of my things to be able to pay the bills. I was thinking about taking them to an antique shop and getting them appraised, but wanted another opinion before selling them to just anyone.

Please respond with your thoughts on this.

Thank you for your time

Really very good condition you might get $20 each on eBay, but that will drop swiftly if condition is poorer
Assuming an antique ore used bookstore will even take them, you won't realize as much as auctioning them yourself.
Hope this rough information helps
