Quote:Originally Posted by sborock There was much more shelf space (or spinner rack space) out there then than there is today. I would also bet the per unit printing cost was much lower than it is today. Add to the fact the price was .10 (2.00 today), price per unit is much cheaper. So print runs were much larger. |

| @BPaxson002 There was more room on the newstand because so many more people read comic books back then. | ||

| @sborock I was thinking there being more shelf space because there was more sites willing to carry comics back then than there are today. Drugstores, newsstands, barber shops, simple subscriptions outmatched what comic shops carry today. Distribution was simpler and those comics that did not sell were mutileted and tossed in the trash (or sold under the table). |

Quote:Originally Posted by BPaxson002 I easily see both. Like you said, I remember when I first started in the early-mid 80's. Comic books were everywhere I went. Gas stations, drug stores, etc. At the same time, more people read comics then. Today, most kids don't read comics on a regular basis. The average reader is between the age of 30 and 50. |

| @Puckster That was before the big distributor collapse caused by Marvel buying up Heroes World. Books were still being sent to regular magazine distributors were still sending a significant amount of books to book stores and the like. But that, for the most part, ended when marvel wanted to control all their books. |

| There was no TV, kids read lots of comics. The distribution back in the 1940's was gigantic. We have not come close since. | ||

You should really reach out to him and offer to grade those books for free (would be amazing for CBCS) even if he doesn’t slab them in the end. That’s a documentary waiting to happen. |

| Buying comics off the newsstand between 1942 through 1954 was truly a wonderful experience. | ||
