UUIDs reused from previous years?
-
It looks like about 700 cards this year are using the same UUID as last year - was this intentional?
Here's one example:
Sosa: https://mlb23.theshow.com/items/d3f93ce1ca1b6b4136abee05ace0fd94
Conforto: https://mlb22.theshow.com/items/d3f93ce1ca1b6b4136abee05ace0fd94

Why would they do this? A UUID should be a unique identifier for the card. I would think they would be automatically generated, also in my previous spreadsheets, I created the UUID because theirs was too long, and with mine, I could tell what the card was just by looking at the identifier string.

What he is saying is they are using Conforto's UUID for Sosa.

Sorry if my original post was confusing.
Currently, IDs are being re-used for completely different cards. As seen in the original post example.

The UUIDs are scoped to the game year. We don't really need them to be unique across all years.

Gotttt it! I think this was just the first time we encountered it. We made adjustments to handle this. Thanks for the confirmation, Pat!
