Yes, because with the print issues you have something tangible that at least subconsciously has some retained value after its been read. Even though the market for old comics has essentially evaporated I've seen people claim that their issue #1 of Archie is worth hundreds. A digital copy is like a saved web page; once youve read it saving it doesnt seem to have any value.
