National Geographic's Collectors Corner

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

1942-current

My father-in-law has recently passed and we are cleaning out the house for sale. We have come across quite a few boxes full of National Geographic and are unsure what to do with them. The public library seems to have no interest and I hate to just throw them out. The magazines are all in good shape and currently in southwest Virginia (Bristol area) but can be easily enough transported to Atlanta for a local pick-up. Any one have any idea what if anything they are worth? Make an offer and they are yours!...how bout' FREE if you come take them away!
