Archie has been around for 76 years now so if they have published 25,000 stories that is an average of almost 329 stories per year. And since there is only 365 days a year averaging almost 329 stories a year is pretty impressive for that long.

25000 stories ÷ 75 years = 333,3 stories per years
333,3 stories per years ÷ 12 monts = 27.7 stories per monts
27.7 stories per monts ÷ 4 weeks = 6.9 stories per weeks

6 or 7 stories per weeks seems possible.(4-5 stories per issue)
I could be wrong because I'm not good at math.  :crazy2:

Yeah you are correct, but I am going by that Archie comics has been around for 76 years now.

It's actually about 74.5 years at the moment. Archie's been around since the Fall of 1941 (dated December, but probably out in October of that year), so he'll be 75 years young this coming Fall (2016).

I guess I am going from the inception of the company and according to the wikipedia page they started in November 1939.

And I have read 12 of the comics so far. Never have I read a "Classic" Archie comic. I have seen excerpts on the internet, but I have never purchased or read one.

I'm just going by what the company goes by in terms of anniversaries. They've had a number of special logos displayed on their covers over the years celebrating a 45th, 50th, 60th, and (very briefly) 70th anniversaries, and they always seem to use 1941 (the year that Archie first appeared in PEP #22) as their anniversary. So I guess those couple of years of pre-Archie comic book publishing aren't considered relevant. They are fudging just a little this year by having their 75th anniversary in the year leading up to the actual month of the 75th Anniversary of Archie. Or I guess if they were going by the year 1939, then they were already a year overdue when they started their 75th anniversary last October with the appearance of the book The Best of Archie Comics: 75 Years, 75 Stories -- but you'll see the "75 Years" logo now on the current digests. I don't think they officially changed their name from MLJ Magazines to Archie Comic Publications, Inc. until sometime in 1945 or 1946, so there's another possible anniversary, although I doubt they'll use that.

The Classic style doesn't interest you? You are missing out on some great, funny stories.

Back in South Africa and especially the part I lived in Archie comics were not hardly around. I have only been in America since last July when I first picked up the Archie #1 than later the Jughead #1. I then started reading about the "Classic" style and how most people said the new stuff is way worse. Well to be honest I like the stories in the new series and I didn't really want to spoil it by going back and reading older stuff. I know I am missing a bunch of stuff, but I really don't want to spoil what I am into right now.

Plus I don't have unlimited funds to buy comics so I have to pick and choose what I spend my allowance on.

Were all stories from every 32 or 48 page archie comics from 60s t0 2000s reprinted in the digests?

SAGG

APP  could certainly reprint "new"  old stories with this estimated number. The only exception could be the racially offensive early stories...

My first instinct is to say "no", although I'm not sure what all was reprinted in tbe 70's digests. There were somewhere in the neighborhood of 110-112 digests published in the 70's, so ACP could have reprinted a huge chunk of the 60's material during that time.  When I really started paying attention to what was being reprinted it seems like the lion's share comes from the 90's and 80's(in that order), and that continues to this day.
