As many first quarter publisher catalogs start popping out, we've been able to track down a larger chunk of 2018 short story collections (and have received galleys for one already) and are up to 67 to look forward to--and we've even heard details about 4 collections that will publish in 2019! Still hard (HARD!) for me to believe that short story collections are considered to be a hard sell.
