We seem to be talking at cross purposes. What I thought you were meaning is the people who do not start reading a series until it is complete. This is rather different from knowing whether a series has 1 or 72 books in it before starting to read the series.
One friend of my spouse is still waiting to start J. D. Robb's In Death series which is currently up to 76 books—counting the main books, the short stories and the short story collections. After watching the TV series of A Game of Thrones, she was very disappointed to find that The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring had not yet been written never mind published.
