"I thought it might be a good idea to buy all four issues, bag them and just put them away so today I went to the local Barnes & Nobel here in Central PA. I went through their entire stack of NG's and all they had were the bottom two issues…"

"Hello John,   Does it have the map supplement included (either bound-in, or loose)? At any rate, this doesn't look worthless to me...I think I would be interested in it, if you are not wanting to keep it for yourself. Is this the only such…"

John Shaddock replied to Nostalgic Meditations's discussion Rare 1913 April National Geographic Peru and Machu Picchu edition
"Just so you know, the fact that it doesn't have the pull out is "kind of a big deal."  It's only rare if it is complete and in very good to excellent condition. "

"Thanks Melvin.  I just found out that they took off the front and back covers during the binding process, so as a NG collector that pretty much kills the value as far as I'm concerned..."

Melvin L. De Vilbiss replied to John Shaddock's discussion Individually bound April 1913 issue?
"If it was bound complete, i.e. covers, ads and map and the aforementioned items were in good or better condition, I would imagine it might be worth the price the loose issues have been fetching lately on eBay, i.e. about $225."

Specimens in Miniature Issue from 1919?

Hello All,It is interesting when you think you know a reasonable amount about NGM's and then you run across something new.  What can anyone tell me about the NGM specimens in miniature issue from 1919?  It states volume XXXV and number one on the top.  On the front cover are the words "specimens in miniature of what it has given in the past and will bring in the future." See More
