If you go to "The Morrow Project" and select "View" for Price History, you get the Market Report for Rail Baron!

Quite right! Well spotted.

"Price History" is one of the links listed in the Statistics module. It works using the database ID number for the entry. It is only valid at an item level. The bug here is that it is an option at all at the family level.

You have clicked on the link at the [RPG] level (which in database terms has a type of [family]), and The Morrow Project has a [family] ID number of 420. So the stats returned are for Rail Baron (which in database terms is a type of [thing] and has an ID of 420).

What you really wanted to do was to go to the specific item for the core rules: The Morrow Project. This also has a [thing] type and an ID of 44181. Clicking on "Price History" from the item page will return the correct information (although in practice there is no price history as no users have listed this book for sale through RPG Geek).

I'll raise the bug that [family] objects show a "Price History" link so that we can remove it, as it is not appropriate at a [family] level. Thank you!

Price history shouldn't even be in the RPGG database - I'll likely remove it.

We can list RPG items for sale though. As a random example with a current listing: d20 Future. So price history is a useful feature.
