1973 National Geographic Back Issues + Map Supplements - Your Choice
These magazines were rescued from a North Carolina attic. This particular lot was obviously stored in a box exposed to moisture, and all have a musty smell. Shockingly all of the 1973 issues we found that were supposed to have map supplements... did. These may be ideal for repurposing or crafting.
