Please describe the Vol 1 #2 & #4 issues. Are they a brick color or brownish with vertical lines showing on the cover. If so, these are the National Geographic official reprints from 1922.

[Ronnie Gillmore]

they are the originals they have the double line all the way around just like the one John has a picture of.I'll post piuctures of them as soon as I get a chance.

[Charles Gannon]

Based on the photo you have posted, you have the 1922 Reprints of Vol. 1, No. 2 & No. 4. These were official NGS reprints for those two magazines. They are scarce, but not rare.

[Ronnie Gillmore]

are they suposed to say 1922 reprint any where non the mag

[Charles Gannon]

No, they will not state that they are a reprint. Because of the scarcity of the original Vol. 1 Nos. 2 & 4 magazines, the National Geographic Society reprinted those issues in the 1922 to fill a demand for those seeking to have a complete collection. The original magazine covers were printed with black ink on reddish brown paper. They measure 6" x 9 3/8". To defferentiate the reprints from the originals, the National Geographic Society printed the 1922 editions on brown paper with visible vertical lines. These measure 6 1/4" x 9 3/8". This particular information comes from Collectibles of the National Geographic Society by Roger Nathan. It is common knowledge among experienced NGS collectors.

Hope this helps.

[Ronnie Gillmore]

how much are the reprints worth.

[Charles Gannon]

Condition is important. I notice a chip on the one in your photo. It would be best if you could try to sell them by competitive bid; especially in today's market. I would expect to get $50.00 to $75.00 ea for them, but it has been awhile since I've seen one for sale, so the market and demand will ultimately set their value.

Good luck.

I agree with Charles about the Volume 1 issues. I am interested in hearing more about the Volume 2 to Volume 12 magazines. If not already sold, could you email me details please: [e-mail]

Hi Ronnie,

do you have the April 1913 issue for Machu Picchu? If so, are you willing to sell this individually?

Regards.
