I try to open as many decks as I can and, as I reduce my collection to a manageable size, I aim to get this to 100% opened.
Deck purchases by year
This chart shows the number of decks purchased (green) and sold (red) each year beginning with 2017, as I purchased the Cult Movie deck in 2014, but didn't start collecting proper until three years later.
Each vertical line represents 50 decks.
