eh, I'm not sure you can even compare the price of a collectible hard back to a new eBook. They are completely different purchases. I have about the first 10 initial issue Trixie Beldens that are in fabulous condition. I think those were put out about 1959 to mid-1960s. Obviously the price I paid is far more reflective of their collectible nature than the story itself. I'd barf if they tried to price an eBook off of what they go for on EBAY.
