National Geographic's Collectors Corner

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

National Geographic magazines to give away.

My husband passed away a couple years ago. He was not a true NGM collector, but he never threw one away that he got his hands on. I would like to pass them on to someone who would appreciate them as much as he did. I have about 325 magazines - mostly 1960s through mid 1990s. Most are in very good condition; duplicate copies of many of them. Also have about 40 maps from the 1939 - 1959 issues. I am located in Hastings, Michigan. Please let me know if you are interested.

Hi Margaret,

That is quite a collection you have there. Even if your husband wasnt a true collector, I think he did pretty well! I m sure he is missed. :)

Do you still have any of these still available? especially the one with the maps? (i love maps) Thanks for your time Margaret!

blessings,
David

Hi Margaret,

Unfortunately I am not local anymore, I used to live in Grand Rapids a few years back and I miss the area. I have a feeling you dont want to ship any with them being an enormous amount and weight, but I wanted to see if you were willing to ship some, if not all of the maps, if I was to pay for shipping and a little extra for your time as well. Let me know.

If you accept my friend request on this site, you can private message me if that makes things easier. Thanks again Margaret. 

blessings,

David
