Multiply that by 1000 or so for the year, and then do it again when the season turns. God bless ‘em for filling out all those checklists.

Yeah, the sheer number of cards produced today of any given player in any given year must give player collectors fits.
While researching a piece on
Jackie Robinson cards recently, I found TCDB.com super helpful.
One tidbit I realized while researching. Jackie Robinson appeared on 56 different "cards" during his playing days. In 2022, he appeared on 370.
