Collaborative site for collectors, dealers, & anyone interested in our history.
Collection of NGM's 1965-2008 available for interested collectors
Included are two special issues: February of 1981 & November of 1993.
Index issues from 1984 - 1993, plus a hard cover index which covers the years 1947 - 1983.
This collection has been sorted and brought down from the attic, boxed and waiting for an interested collector to take them off our hands.
I thought about e-bay, but upon investigating there, those being sold don't get much for bids. Then I found this website, again large collections for sale don't get much for replys. I don't want to cover the cost of shipping these heavy boxes, I checked into local schools, not much interest there either. Sure hate to see this collection go to the recycle bin, but they will if no one responds.
The collection is currently boxed and stored in central MN
Please reply if any collector is interested...

Roger,
hello!
How well "used" are these? Like I mean do they show signs of being wrinkled or spine damages...I am looking to 'upgrade' the set the I have and your timeframe is what I am looking for.
Of course you don't pay shipping - someone who wants them does. EBay is in a slump right now for sales, I think it has to do with the economy and gas prices. NGS stuff used to do quite nicely in the auctions.

For the most part they are in pretty good shape, I do remember a few (half dozen??) of them with spine damage, none I would classify as wrinkled. Basically they were read and then put away.

I don't really know the value of them, more important to me is to find a home of someone who would appreciate having them.
I live about 7 hours away from where they are stored right now, so if I had to take the time to travel, package them up, and arrange to send them I guess I would like some kind of compensation for my efforts...perhaps $200 for the whole collection + shipping.
Otherwise, if a collector was willing to make the trip to central MN to pick them up, I 'd say $50 or whatever you feel is reasonable.
Thanks
Roger
