"I have a checklist that goes up to 2017 and there are 497 maps, supplements and pictorials listed. So one large box should be sufficient. Did your dad collect multiple copies? Maybe those boxes have something else in them?"

Joe replied to Joe's discussion every mag and map made
"boxes are very large. I would never even attempt to go thru them. they all go together. When I say thousands that is an understatement. Maybe 20 large boxes with 1000 maps in each? Couldnt even begin to tell you. Where are you located?  These…"

Joe,

  Welcome to Collectors Corner, and I hope you are able to find a home for your father's collection. I remember your father from our vintage NGM sale many years ago and am sorry to hear he is ill.

Kindest regards,

Cathy Hunter

I am here to update this page. Unfortunately, on Dec 3, 2023, TAPS was played as MSG Joseph F Billone was released of his final post and duties of the US Army. His legacy of National Geo mags and maps still sit here today in plastic storage bins. My dad spent his life preserving these from the first to this past month's editions some in triplicate. It will kill my sisters and me to throw these away. Most are in acceptable condition. Please can someone find a home for them? My contact number is 631-355-3376.located on Long Island NY
