<p>Sorry, the best way to describe the state of my collection is "organized chaos". I keep meaning to get it presentable but life keeps getting in the way. Maybe some day.</p>
<p>As for the Newsstand copies, I've only been buying them a couple of years, mainly for my Cover Variant research (and because I can get them sooner to read and image).</p>

<p>Including the 99 reprints I mentioned, I have a complete collection. 1888 to 1895 are all reprints. 1896 to 1907 are mixed. 1908 to 2020 are originals. I just got the December 2020 newsstand copy, still waiting for my subscription copy.</p>

<p>Back when the <em>Geographic</em> was young, it was a common practice to have complete volumes of any magazine, not just ours, bound. Back then binderies were common. They would usually remove the covers and all advertisements from the issues before binding them. Nowadays, bound volumes are bought and sold, but very few are produced. My collection is solely individual issues, but I have seen some beautiful bound collections.</p>

Thanks so much, Tom. So yes, there is hope! I'm not collecting to sell (except for duplicates). I would just love to own the collection (whether they're reprints or not).<br />
<br />
How did people get the issues bound? Were they purchased that way?<br />

<p>Wendy,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Apologies for getting back to you so late on this topic but I was visiting my daughter who had her first child (my sixth grandchild) and it has taken me a while to get back into the swing of things. I wanted to respond earlier but being away from my collection, I didn't want to rely on memory alone. In the mean time, Mel made two excellent posts on the subject, but he only concentrated on "original" issues. If you were thinking about completing your collection there…</p>

<p>Apologies for getting back to you so late on this topic but I was visiting my daughter who had her first child (my sixth grandchild) and it has taken me a while to get back into the swing of things. I wanted to respond earlier but being away from my collection, I didn't want to rely on memory alone. In the mean time, Mel made two excellent posts on the subject, but he only concentrated on "original" issues. If you were thinking about completing your collection there is still hope.</p>
<p>In 1922 the National Geographic Society reprinted the two issues (Vol. 1 No. 2 and Vol. 1 No. 4) because of the demand for those hard-to-find issues. They were marked with barely noticeable strips on the cover so thy could not be passed off as originals. I am sure there are many near-complete collections that used these reprints to fill them out.</p>
<p>By 1964, with the number of issues printed per month in the millions, the Society decided to reprint the entire first twenty years of the <em>Geographic</em> which by then were getting harder to find. For the first ten years, 3,000 reprints were produced (1,400 individual issues, 1,600 bound volumes). For the next ten years, 2,000 reprints were made (500 individual, 1,500 bound). An additional 5,000 individual copies of Vol. 1 No. 1 were printed with 1,000 more issued in 1974.</p>
<p>I lovingly refer to my collection as a "poor man's" collection. Out of the first 20 years, 99 of my issues are 1964 reprints. I also have the two 1922 reprints and a 1974 reprint, just because. I hope this information helps.</p>
<p></p>
