Higher production runs are certainly one factor. Another factor is the number of adult collectors has increased significantly since the 70's, so you have more people willing to buy toys for themselves and keep them in excellent condition (sealed or not).

I'm kind of weird when it comes to the catalog/ad inserts. I will keep one of each for a toy line as long as it is unique. For example, during the G1 run of Transformers, they would change their catalog insert every so often (advertising new product). So I would keep one as a sample. I think I have about 8 of them in total, running from 1984-90.
