Oh, true enough, but the last few books in the CA series were rare and pricey even in poor condition, and the reissues were the first chance for a lot of fans to get to read the stories. And the reissues were put together with a lot of care.
Do you know that Julie Campbell who wrote the Trixie books is Julie Tatham who wrote some of the Cherry Ames books (but hers weren't reprinted, as that copyright wasn't obtained).
