I have a feeling that a lot of previous buyers do not even bother go to comic book stores anymore. They do not even have a way to find out if new "good stuff" was coming out in the first place. Things have really broken down in a systematic way for comic books.
The days of catching a glimpse of a good Duck cover and, ahem, buying it for my 8 year old 😉, at a grocery store, gas station, convenience store are long gone.</div>

I also feel that Disney does not care about these characters anymore either. They have been neutered and sjw'd to the point I no longer recognize them from their glory days. A Don Rosa is no where to be seen who actually seemed to care on a majestic scale.</div>

If it was not for this mailing list popping it up in my mind on occasion or my morbid curiosity of actually owning a Carl Barks oil painting one day which go for obscene prices on Heritage I would not even give it a thought at all.</div>

I cannot be the only one who has morphed into this shape. Kind of a sad email. I have children who are at the right age to appreciate good Duck material but I will no longer go out of my way to purchase new stores. I have plenty of old comics to provide them
and I do not care about their condition. I give the stuff away now days to children who, if I am lucky, will be pulled away from their ipad for an hour or two.</div>

I guess some people wanted to buy the new number ones, but also isn't there a risk that long-time buyers as you see this as an a reason to stop getting it? Then you can see your collection as complete without having to get anything more.</div>
