Bill,
Those years are a little difficult to to acquire but there still are a sufficient number of those magazines still out there
that prices are not that great. Are they loose issue's or are they bound volumes. Again condition of mags determines the price and individual will pay. S& H costs will be spendy if you have no local takers, Maps may very well be worth more than your mags. E-Bay will give you a real good idea of what you might expect from the market place, Good Luck

Hi Bill,

Have you been able to find any other info. or do anything with these NGM's yet? I concur with what Andy said, and just re-state that condition is the biggest factor for the 1920-1950-ish time period. If these are VERY good, as you say, then yes, they will be worth more than just the average minimum.


regards,

I also have a set running from 1930-1988...all original. the 30's issues are leather bound and are in excellent condition..........any idea of value?
