    I had a friend who had over a century of National Geographics complete, I want to say back to 1909 with no gaps, and quite a few earlier issues.

    They've become slightly harder to find the past decade or so, I think.   From roughly 1950-2000, people believed that any house built in the US would collapse if there weren't a minimum of 10 years of National Geographic back issues in the basement, but they apparently finally figured out how to get around that problem. 

    I still subscribe since 1983.  I learned from my grandfather.  He started to subscribe them in 1939.  My grandmother hated them so much and already threw some but he put $300 in one magazine.  It's already gone.  My grandmother left them alone.  I enjoyed reading them at my grandparents' house.  Now, my wife hates them and I decided to tell her story about my grandmother's incident. She didn't touch them ever since.

    Also UPS

    This morning they just left a Hulk 1 on someone's doorstep in California. 

    I would have preferred to send it Registered Mail, but the buyer wanted it on a day he knew he'd be home, so we opted for UPS Air Advantage, Signature Required. 

    Buyer got it, but I can't believe I just paid $500 for shipping and insurance just to have it left at someone's front door. doh!

    I think you can call them and complain about it.  Maybe you should get money back. Probably no but good luck.
