Looking to buy maps ...

Chris,
I may have some "older" extras but be forewarned - they are expensive.
The Jan 1902 maps often sell between $1500 to $2000 as they are the rarest in the NG collection. Yes, if you wait, sometimes the right moment will arrive and you'll catch a break. I have a good friend here on the forum who got the entire year of 1902 in good condition for about that price. It's all in the timing.
The April 1898 map is second coming in at between $800 to $1,000.
The 1880 through 1893 maps were bound within the publication so you'll rarely find them separate/loose, but as above, it's all in the timing. I have seen some of them loose - but only once or twice.
Good luck!
Mel

Should read "1889" not 1880.

Hi Mel, I am not surprised, I don't really expect to find them, let alone at a price I am prepared to pay :-)

Hello Chris,
I just saw this post. I have the May 1916 issue and map if you're still interested - please let me know!
Thanks,
Kevin
