<p>Thanks again, Tom! I'm finding this extremely interesting. </p>

<p>Wendy,</p>

<p>As to the issues themselves, the articles and supplements are (as far as I know) are identical.</p>
<p>As for the covers, it varies. Some are identical except for the Barcode in the lower left or right corner. Some have minor variations to the headlines or other verbiage, while some major formatting changes. A few have different covers altogether.</p>
<p>See my post on Cover Variants <a href="http://ngscollectors.ning.com/group/collectablesandephemera/forum/topics/variations-to-the-covers-of-the-national-geographic" target="_self">here</a>. Most of the newsstand/subscription variant are toward the bottom of the post.</p>
<p>I hope this answers your question.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Yours in collecting,</p>
