Perhaps Bruce Brown bought up all of his copies???
Conspiracy theory and I'm sure incorrect...
I'm listening to a very old episode of "The Talk of Gasoline Alley" with Donald Davidson and he mentioned that when (David) Bruce-Brown's estate was settled in 1914 that he recalls it was worth about 1.3M.
That's a lot of money for 1912 (when he was killed in an accident).
Didn't know if some might like the little nugget of knowledge.
