Collection power aims to solve a few Splinterlands problems and allow the creation of real separate leagues with leaderboards. Currently, it only evaluates the power of the collection, it is not used in any way.
The current implementation of Collection Power is the sum of the burn values of all playable cards. There were other ideas, but right now this is the way to calculate it.
One of the biggest Splinterlands problems is the fact that low-level decks reach the high leagues and get disproportionate rewards in relation to the owned collection. The chart below seems to confirm this, half of the accounts reach the diamond league or higher. And over 2000 accounts reach the champion league.
Another problem is that the current leagues don't make much sense. For example, if you have a silver level account, you cannot compete for the title of the best silver player (excluding tournaments). Instead of fighting with the Silver players to see who is the best Silver player, you reach the Diamond or Gold league, while in the silver league there are almost only 1lvl decks. Collection power is the first step in creating real leagues that can significantly improve the Splinterlands ranking system.
Data from the end of 43rd season
Let's analyze Collection Power in all leagues, but first, take a look at top100 accounts with the highest Collection Power.

There are some outliers that make this histogram less readable. Let's just remove them (top 4 accounts). Now chart looks a bit better. (Outliers will be removed from all next histograms too).
1.4 1e7 is just scientific notation and means 1.4 * 10000000 = 14 millions.

Median is much lower than average, but just looking at the chart it's no wonder, most of the values are on the left side of the histogram.

Novice league seems to be a combination of new accounts and inactive accounts (with some cards).
Bonus
Probably not very useful, but I was just curious if there is a visible correlation.
My opinion
I am a big fan of Collection Power and separate leagues. However, I am not convinced that the current implementation of Collection Power is optimal.
In my opinion, it would be better to calculate Collection Power this way:
ignore foil (gold foil Lyanna 8lvl has the same power as regular Lyanna 8lvl, there is no difference in battle)
treat Alpha / Beta the same way (8lvl Alpha Lyanna does not have an advantage in battle over 8lvl Beta Lyanna), maybe treat all editions the same way (Alpha / Beta / Promo)
ignore duplicates (if you have 10 maxed out Gremlin Blasters it does not give more power to your collection than having single maxed out Gremlin Blaster ;-) )
