I am loving the December, 1969 issue. I submitted these magazines a year ago and finally received grades. These are tough grades to obtain, I will add, but I am looking to  build set registry to these key years. Thank you for being par of the Nat Geo corner.See More

"Thank you for that information, Mr. Vilbiss. One has to wonder how many copies survived as well. I guess it will take years to complete a full set from these early years. Thanks again for your reply."

About Me: (If none, make no entry):
I grew up collecting coins and baseball cards. I have acquired a taste for quality; therefore, I have peaked an interest in collecting the Nat Geo books because the company has been running continuous for a very long time. There seems to be plenty to go around which make collecting still fun and not so much about money like the other hobbies.
Favorite National Geographic publication: (If none, make no entry):
1969 Apollo 11
Favorite travel destination: (If none, make no entry):
Texas

Beautiful! I have a copy sitting in the hands of CGC grading right now. They are backlogged and will probably take 6 months to get it back. Complete/with record.
