One thing I don't think people get for the shift out of newstands and from newsprint to better paper was that the quality of old paper meant comics didn't last long on the newstand
Along with the fact that many kids would shift through them or just handle them roughly while sifting through them, it meant product that just didn't last.
Between that, and the fact that you made less profit on them, it made them something that was hard to make good money on in newstands.
This is also why you see magazinges printed with nicer paper, and higher prices.
>You may not see value in having the same book thirty or even forty years down the line, but believe it or not that used to be the standard.
A good reason for that in general is that no one is planning on family heirlooms or staying at the same place for decades anymore. That sort of generational quality is dying as people don't really have family homes..or families anymore like they used to.
