List of all Map Packs

[Enpeze]

I am collecting the Paizo Map Packs and Flip Mats, but I struggle to get an overview of them all. So I want to ask is there a chronological and comprehensive list of all Map Packs and Flip Mats which has been produced by Paizo untill now? Thanks for your help.

I started collecting them a few months ago and here are my tips:

1.) Go back to a post on the store blog titled "Going, Going, Gone..." and look to see which ones are almost out of stock. You should probably move any on that list to the top of your priority list to get them before they go out of print. After that you could relax and buy at a more liesurely pace. Here is a link to the one from Feb:
Store Blog

2.) I thought about collecting all the available map packs, but after seeing the new version compared to the older version, I decided I only wanted to collect the new versions that can be easily marked up and erased so that list got really short. I bought a few of the older ones that interested me, but did not go for the whole collection.

3.) As far as a list is concerned I made my own handwritten list since there were not that many of them from the paizo product page based on which maps were still available and just started checking them. Before I knew it I had them all. Here is a Google Doc that shows most of the Flip maps and map packs along the top. Not sure if they are in order, but it may help:

Good luck on your collecting.

Great. Many thanks for your help. Your google doc is really super and will be the base for my map list.

There is also a alphabetical list on the community use page here

Why not just check the Paizo store listing?

Because I thought that the paizo store listing is not complete. Maybe I am wrong and they have every map they ever produced. I will compare it with other lists, I got.

Pretty sure the store listing has been complete since they started offering PDFs of all the maps.

It was complete even before then, but you had to click into the "Unavailable Products" tab to see the ones that had gone out of print. (Since they're all now available in PDF, there is no longer such a tab.)

The only problem with the store list is if you try to rank them based on order of release. Since the PDF-ing of all of them was in a non-sequential order, it seems to have taken precedence over the order in which the print products were released.

(Not that it's a problem going forward, of course).

Well my first collectors list for paizo flip mats stands. I scanned the maps and thumbnailded them to a much smaller size for the screen depiction (only about 15cm)

List one - the flip mats have been easy. but now comes the difficult part - the map packs with their nearly 500 minimaps. I could use some of the store listing pics to save some time, but I dont like the "sample" print on them, so I will use my own scans. Each of the minimap scans will have only a thumbnail size of 5x3cm or so. At the moment I am using the weekend to work on this project. I guess 1-2 weeks and I am ready with all the 500 map packs minimaps and giving each of them a catalogue number. The last step will be a storage system (most likely I will use Lisas great idea of a file card box) and labeling each minimaps.

One absolutely great side effect if you combine list, storage system plus digital pictures of each minimap is that you can find as a DM the right minimap for a szene or combat in a matter of a few minutes.

eg. you are looking for a throne room? Well browse through the pdf with flip mat thumbnails, nope, there is none. Then browse through the pdf with the map pack thumbnails and voila you will find it in map pack 02 Fortress, minimap-tiles 3,4,5 and 6. Last step is goto the locker, open the file card box on card 02 Fortress and take the corresponding minimaps out. A work of maybe 2 minutes. I guess this is much better than the storage chaos I have now with hundreds of unlabeled minimaps bumbling around in a box.
