Night Owl Cards

  I decided to go a little deeper into my calculating of which players have the most cards in my collection. I wanted to further illustrate how dominant the late '90s/early '00s are when you're totaling up something like this. I also wanted to see who the top five non-Dodgers are in my collection, going beyond Nolan Ryan and George Brett. When you look deeper into numbers, that's when you catch mistakes. It turns out George Brett doesn't have the second-highest number of cards in my collection among players who haven't played for the Dodgers.   I somehow overlooked Reggie Jackson, who, of course, should have a lot of cards in my collection.

And last night I figured out which players had the most cards sitting my card room.   I knew that all of the players with the most would be Dodgers. I've never considered myself a player collector -- and that's what makes an exercise like this interesting because I'm not controlling the puppet strings,...
