Omg I was just thinking of starting this thread, I am also new to card collecting and was wondering if its normal for like 10 new decks to come out each year? If so you guys must be millionaires coz I'm gonna be broke soon.
I hope you're sitting down...
It isn't 10 new decks a year... it's about 12 new decks a week.
USPCC produces about 10-12 new decks per week. Out of those decks, an average of 2 decks have the "BICYCLE" logo on the front of the box.( that's approx 100 new BICYCLE decks per year) Some of the other decks are for corporate companies, etc.
Here's some of the decks that have been released this year...
