Census Scarcity & Inelastic Supply
Panel Profits Domain Translation
The mathematical reality that vintage pre-1980 comic books have fixed surviving populations that can only decrease through attrition, making high-grade census copies strictly inelastic assets.
Underlying Financial Principle:
The economic condition where available supply is strictly limited relative to total demand, establishing a steep upward-sloping supply curve and high price inelasticity.
