N/A Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 There is no correlation between the quality of the book and the secondary market. There's never full correlation, but to say there's no correlation is wrong. Sure, some books are pure hype, and some books are weak first appearances of characters that later became great, but the 75 year history of the hobby is littered with books that have separated themselves based on quality. No. There are many quality books with no secondary market and many non-quality books with a healthy secondary market. No correlation.

(thumbs u @ JB: Prime Your knowledge and mad skillz abound, however I must offer my on this matter. I think it's false to say "no correlation." A more accurate statement would incorporate the word "partial" regarding correlation. "Some cases have partial correlations, no correlation, positive, negative, or perfect correlations." It would be an interesting study Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 http://www.mathsisfun.com/data/correlation.html As soon as you say some positive, others have negative then the term correlation does not apply. Quality and Secondary Market has no correlation. The challenge would be defining "quality". (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troydivision1 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Defining 'quality' would be the hardest part. What I collect rocks...? Awards won? Print size? Reader retention? Edited September 12, 2013 by umyeahwhatevers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisInBaltimore Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 not THAT low for a 9.6 Yea it is about what I figured for a 9.6. I think the RRP will start to rebound after a few months of the book being on a regular schedule. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
