"Bobby, I've been looking at recently sold /complete items for National Geographic Magazines and I feel a really fair price is $2.00 issue plus you handle the shipping. Many of the sold listings in the 1920-1940 issues sold for $5-$7.00 ea. +…"

"Thanks Scott! I love having them to show my nephew a slice of life of the past. There needs to be some context for very early issues, but it's all important!"

"Hi Bob, this is my first time in these threads so I hope we can have a discussion here. In a different thread, someone is saying 20 cents an issue plus shipping. Does that seem fair?"

Bobby,

I've been looking at recently sold /complete items for National Geographic Magazines and I feel a really fair price is $2.00 issue plus you handle the shipping. Many of the sold listings in the 1920-1940 issues sold for $5-$7.00 ea. + shipping and some of the inserts in those years sold from $7.50-$18.36 ea..  You are welcome to check out these sells  as well on E-Bay.  Let me know your thoughts.

Bob
