Not all published supplements are listed as reproductions, but a good representation is included in this list from the National Geographic.
I have never ordered from this site, but it is my understanding these modern reproductions are delivered in tubes, i.e. not folded. This makes for a beautiful display, framed or not.
"Original" speaks for itself, i.e. fragile, usually faded, hard to find, a collector's desire, expensive.
Reprints are: 1) used to validate originals, 2) and/or to complete collections back to the beginning for those like me who cannot afford to purchase the multi-thousand dollar originals, 3) and are of themselves collectibles in that they are approaching 50 years old.

Here's an eBay listing that includes the 1896 submarine cable chart. The seller is an excellent dealer and will work with you. Give it a try - and good luck!

Hello Group,
Well, I'm here! Hopefully I can dive in and contribute and discuss things with you. I used to be "here" all the time, but this past year + has been a trifle difficult for me (family issues).
See you 'around'.- Scott S.

Hi All,
Its good to have a group dedicated to the map collectors, there are so many I've missed in the past and for me a collection of all the issues is far from complete.
Great to be here...

Thanks for offering Jason...
No particular one comes to mind presently but as I peruse the site, and my own collection I'm reminded ever so often.
At least I know who to come to for advise.

Welcome Scot to the Map and Suppliment collectors group.I see that Mel told you how you can get the maps you wanted on E-Bay and from the NG Society. The 1907 polar map will probably harder to find on E-bay unless someone is selling a hardbound edition of that year or the July 1907 issue of the magazine. I have 2 copies of this map that I got by buying 1907 hardcover editions that come up for sale quite regularly. The other maps you want are very common and are easy to find on E-Bay for little money Good Luck....Phil
