"Good job Tom! You got them all. There was one after the fact: "'The 2 Koreas / The Forgotten War" in July 2003. I would like to have seen the Ukraine map near when the war started, but at least they finally got it. Harold W."

"I did get mine last week. It's nice. The cover calls it a special bonus map. But it's actually an "old fashioned supplement"! Maybe Disney got more complaints besides mine. Better late than never, Hopefully, in the future, they…"

"I just saw this. I have them all back through 1906 and the 1905 Location of the Panama Canal. I have a few copies of some older ones. I never found the Feb. 1905 world map. Harold W."

"Thanks for posting this. Should have come several months ago, but better late than never. Harold W."

"I have not seen it as I don't get mine til near the end of the month. I just saw Tom's snippet. Finally! I hope it's a supplement.  It's way overdue! Thanks. Harold"

"Harold - have you seen the new June 2023 NGM issue yet? It has a Ukraine map that you were hoping for! See Tom's snippet from Friday, here ---> A Ukraine War supplement (June 2023)"

"Precisely, I 100% agree. I love spreading their maps out on the table and taking my time examining and reading them.  Say, which maps are you missing? I'm surprised....."

"Thanks, Scott. I think I saw most of those, but I still prefer a paper map in front of me where I can take my time looking at it. The Internet has its value too where you can copy or save. But you still can't beat National Geographic maps!…"

"I remember the "flak" Nat Geo got for that in 2014. I thought it was lame. They were showing reality w/ explanation. "

"Harold,  I know that you wanted to see a physical, paper map issued. I agree w/ your concerns and preferences. Along with what Tom already said about online maps being available, it is also the day of the internet . . . we're lucky to…"

"Tom, you may be right. I hope not. The map supplements were as important as articles in the magazine with historical notes, ocean depths, etc. I'm glad I have all mine and told my kids to hold on to them when they inherit them. I check back to…"

"So there are 5 versions?"

"Harold, I remember back during the first invasion.  When the rest of the world refused to recognize Crimea as Russian, the National Geographic Society caught some flak for altering its World map to show the occupation.  Alas, they…"

"That should make 8 different covers!"
