I've been on a kick of trying to get comic books with the original ads, as ads are an important nostalgic component to me for the vintage ones, but everything I'm seeing available for download so far are scrubbed of them. They look to be replacing offered issues from the old scanned versions with these newer, bright and high contrast pages that are more "perfect"...likely from TPBs or digital services I imagine. Is there no way to get those old issues as they were anymore??

To be clear, to meet with the subreddit's guidelines, I'm not looking for specific links or content. Just wondering if anyone knew whether the ability to do so even existed, or are those old scanned issues just gone now.
