Newbie collector in Madison, WI

Hey guys,

 

I love reading older mags and just got interested in vintage Nat Geo.  

 

Just had a baby and that somehow has made me eager to collect items I'd like to pass on to him someday!     

 

I doubt I can convince my wife to store years and years of mags but if anyone is interested in giving away some old issues, i'd be interested.      I'm in the mid west (Madison, WI)

 

Cheers,

Diwa

Hello Diwa,

 

Well, congratulations and welcome! I don't have much in the way of duplicates or extras anymore, but let me look and see what I have hanging around.

 

 

take care,

Hello,

I started a collection some years ago but can no longer sustain it since I'm soon moving to Turkey. I have a mixture of mags from the 50's and 70's plus a sustained collection from the early 90's to the present. If you are interested and willing to pick them up, I'm happy to give them away. I live on the Southwest side of Madison.

 

Regards,

Jim B

Dear Diwa,

 

I would be happy to give you the collection (some pre-1950, including one 1918, some 1950s,

some 1960s, some 1970s, some later) which I describe in detail in my posting to this forum
from a couple of days ago. Perhaps you would be willing to meet a part of the cost of shipping?
You might want to phone me, using 647-267-9566 (shirtpocket cell, with voicemail), or

alternatively 902-897-0236 (landline, without voicemail). Phone works in my case a bit

better than Internet.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Tom Karmo

temporarily at my late Mum's place in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada
