Article Reprints / Offprints (NGS and permissioned)
This group is intended to share knowledge of / awareness of, some seldom seen "reprint", or "offprint", articles that originally appeared in the published magazine.
The vast majority of these items were generated by the Society on special request by non-profit organizations, government agencies, and other higher profile entities (authors, significant contributors).
Print runs of each varied widely, from a few dozen to thousands of copies. Some bear the personalization of the author.

A Recent Article Reprint eBay Auction
This item was auctioned on eBay Wednesday 08/28/19 at 9:00 PM EDT. The seller did their research and set the bidding to begin $40.00. In their description was this:
National Geographic Article Reprint of "The Magic Worlds of Walt Disney" that appeared in the August 1963 issue. Condition is As New (see scan). Contains 54 pages and size is 6 7/8" x 10". Not listed in Buxbaum or Nathan! Includes rare letter!
I made an early bid but with a few minutes to go someone bid $299.00 (Way out of my league). At the last moment someone else sniped it away for $304.00 (plus $5.00 shipping). Lord knows what their high bid was, but they really wanted it.
My congratulations to whoever won this auction!
