Joe, the answer is “negotiable”. Many of the published list prices of
journals are at ‘discouragement levels’, meaning that taking out
individual subscriptions is not liked by most publishers. Bundles are
preferred. (By the way, isn’t a journal a ‘bundle’ in itself? Of
articles, some of which may be relevant, cited, popular and such, some
of which totally ignored?)

Basing the total cost on published list prices will give an upper
limit of what the cost could be. It is likely to be far, far higher
than the real cost, should someone actually wish to buy all the peer
reviewed journals that exist and has the good sense to negotiate the
price.

The question is, How much would it cost to purchase a digital copy of
every single peer-reviewed journal published in one year?
