"Scott,
I've translated this spreadsheet that I made with the date of launch (and withdrawal) of the international editions. Its source is Wikipedia, so it may not be so accurate!
I have no idea of the reason…"

Duplicated ad in May 1916 issue
3 Replies
Maybe this is already known, but I was going through my May, 1916 issue and I noticed that it has the same Kelly-Springfield tires ad twice, once before the articles and again after them. The ads on…Continue

"Interesting and apparently unique find Juan.
In those bygone days the NGS had very strict publication standards.
My issue is the same as Tom's.

P. S. Scott, you're just going to have to revisit your storage unit... ;) "
"Juan,
Thanks for sharing this anomaly! Well, I had my 1910's-era NGM's here for several months but just last week took them all back up to my storage unit, so I can not now compare my copy to yours and Tom's.
I did just…"
"This is an interesting find, Juan. My copy has only one Kelly-Springfield ad, and that was in the back. My copy has a Quaker Oats ad after the one for Glacier National Park.
Yours in collecting,

Duplicated ad in May 1916 issue
Maybe this is already known, but I was going through my May, 1916 issue and I noticed that it has the same Kelly-Springfield tires ad twice, once before the articles and again after them. The ads on the back of each page are different, so it's not as if one of them was inserted by mistake... I don't know if the NGS ever noticed this or if they charged Kelly-Springfield double for the ads!…See More
"In the 2017 Spanish animation film Tadeo Jones 2 one of the main characters can be seen on the cover of a "National Petrographic". I really don't know if it fits better in the parody list or in this one..."
"Hola Carolina,
En las fotos parece que los años más antiguos están encuadernados, y por el aspecto diría que se trata de la reimpresión de 1964 (en ese caso deberían tener la palabra REPRINT muy…"
"Encantado de conocerte, Tomás.
I'll send you a private message so as not to disturb non-Spanish speakers.
Saludos,
Juan Carlos."
"Hello Thomas,
It's great to know another European collector. Your collection is awesome! I had seen your list somewhere else in the Corner, but I didn't know that you were located in Germany.
Which numbers are you willing to part with, and…"
"So, I understand that you have 1908-1914 unbound originals, also? I would be interested in them.
How much are you asking? Could I pick the numbers that I miss, or you only sell the whole lot?
I'll send you a friend request so that we can talk…"
"Hi, Claire.
I'm missing some maps from those years. You can see the list in my profile:

I see that you're located in UK, which makes the shipping to Spain…"

Profile Information
- Hometown:
- Algeciras (Spain)
- Why do you wish to join this community?
- It's not so easy to find old National Geographics in Spain!
- About Me:
- I started buying the Spanish edition when it was launched in October 1997 (I was only 13 back then!), and continued by picking some old English issues in flea markets and in other languages when I travel abroad. Now I've got every issue between 1914 and 1997 in English and a few earlier, starting in 1905.
- Favorite National Geographic publication:
- The Magazine!
- Favorite travel destination:
- All the world, specially Middle East and former USSR.
This is what I have in my collection. I have the complete Spanish edition since No. 1 (October 1997), so I've stopped my collection in English at that point.
And these are the issues that I have to sell or exchange.
