Random Players From My Collection

I had an idea about some random posts, since I have most (not all) of my cards of the Trading Card Database and they have a couple of random features I looked it up to see if the site would random players in my collections. It doesn't. However, it does tell me how many players I have so I can use another site to random the number that corresponds with the player. I have 1945 players and the random came up with 1787. I went to look for that, went back a couple of pages, and than realized that when multiple players have the same amount of cards, it has the same rank. Which explains why when I went back a couple of pages, the players still ranked at 1945. Damn! I thought that number seemed low.

Each page has 100 names on it though so I adjust, the pages x 100 players and add the 31 players on the last page and voila, I have 3131 players, now random that and I come up with 2971. So the 71st player on the 29th page. See, I can still do it. So here we go.

#2971 - Vic Mata (1 card)

No wonder I didn't recognize the name. I figured it must have been a Vintage Collection card. 

According to the TCDB, he only had 15 cards. According to my records, I bought this card from Baseball Card Exchange (card shop) for $.02 in August of 2018. It was $.02 because I bought a whole box of 80's cards, I don't remember the total price but after taking out dupes and figuring which ones I needed, it equaled out to $.02 each.

Since I only had 1 card, I'll make a new rule. I have to show at least 3 cards per random player post.

#3123 - Brian Snyder (1 card)

Apparently random likes the high numbers which means 1 card players. 

This is another name I didn't recognize. Again, if I don't recognize the name I just assume it's a vintage collection and again, I was right. This card was sent to me in a trade by 2x3 Heroes back in March of 2016.

Guess we'll go with another players since I'm only at 2 cards. I'm guessing the next player will have a ton of cards.

#448 - Andre Rienzo (9 cards)

Well it wasn't a ton, but it was more than 1 card. I know this player as they are a former White Sox player which is why I have more than 1.

It was pretty easy to pick a card to show since this was my only relic and auto. I purchased this 2014 Bowman Platinum card off of Ebay for $2.50/shipped back in June of 2017. TCDB shows a total of 289 cards so I have a long way to go but I'm sure not all of them are White Sox cards. I take that back, other than his last 4 cards, they are all White Sox or White Sox minor league affiliates.

That was fun, I'll have to do these post more often. Don't worry, I won't go through everything at the top on every post.
