Looking to sell Bound Leather full editions.

[Russ McAffee]

from vol. 1 1888 through 1967. All present with maps included. Unbelievable collection. Bound leather volumes in great condition.

[John Shaddock]

Nice collection, but you do realize it says the word "Reprint"  below the word "Washington DC on your volume 1 number 1 right?

[Russ McAffee]

So,does that mean they are worthless?

[Melvin L. De Vilbiss]

No Russ, just not as valuable, as I'm certain you understand the oldest originals are the most valuable.

A complete set of 1964 NGS sponsored bound reprints - Volume I thru 18 (Oct 1888 thru Dec 1907) have sold on eBay for as little as $800 and as much as $3400 since Dec 2008 - when I began collecting data. It's all in the timing - and this is a hard time to be selling.

The average 1908 issue sells for about $51; the average 1917 sells for about $17.50 The price begins to plummet after 1920 and and hits rock bottom by 1970.

This data is aging, but should still give you an idea:

I'm definitely interested! I have everything from 1909 to present already.

Do you have some pictures of the full set? Are they shelved or in boxes?

[Russ McAffee]

Michael, 

They are in boxes. If there is anything specific you would like to see, I can dig through them. I only photographed the ones I thought would draw the most interest.

[Michael Forsythe]

I sent you a private message invitation, unless you prefer to chat in this main thread.

I've decided to sell only the early volumes (1888-1909)  Because of high shipping costs. Please let me know if interested.
