I think many fathers did. In the late 90s I had someone donate their entire collection of NG to the library - from the very first issue. Unfortunately, most were very "well-read" and had to be recycled.
Not sure what happened to ours. Dad downsized after Mom died because he sold the house once my brothers were both out (I was already married and out by that point) and I wasn't that involved.
We never had more than a year's worth at a time because Dad had a good friend who really liked the NG but never got a subscription for some reason so that year's worth of magazines was always Dad's Christmas present to him. What the friend did with them after he read them, I have no idea.
