Collaborative site for collectors, dealers, & anyone interested in our history.
What do I do with a large like new collection inherited
There are some 1950-1958 (not complete) Then a complete set 1961-1982 plus 1981 Feb. special. also Jan. 1983 -July1983, July '85 through Dec. '92. Approx. 398 magazines in all. They are in like new condition.
There is also an index book (hardcover) 1947-1983. As far as I can tell all the folded insert maps are still in the magazines.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Terry

Not sure what the going rate is on your collection, but I would love to look into purchasing them.
Let me know when you have decided on a price.
We have six children and find these are an incredible tool to help with education as well as getting them to sit down and read. : )
Thanks, Wendy

Hi Wendy, Thanks for your reply. I don't have a clue as to price, make me an offer including shipping costs and we can go from there. I was the oldest in a family of 6 kids. Back then it was a common thing, now it is a real challenge and I salute you for it. I only had 1 and that was hard enough! Terry

HI Cheryl, Make me a reasonable offer, I don't have a clue as to price. I need the space and don't have any kids left at home to read them.

Hi Terry,
It appears you have about 50 magazines. How about $25 for them plus shipping. I live in Northern California. Contact me at carlson24@comcast.net.
Thanks!
