I only bother with cards that name the person I'm collecting, that's nightmare enough for me. In fact most times I just stick to their base cards or inserts. Subsets of cards in the base set such as in action, or all stars add up quickly. Been known to break that rule with someone like Michael Jordan though, that's mostly Upperdeck's fault.

I randomly add cards to my PC's if the player is prominately featured on the card. Examples would be:

2008 Upper Deck (& UD 1st Edition) card #87. The card is Reggie Williams of the Jaguars, but Chris Gamble of the Panthers is well-focused in the background. Both of those cards are in my Gamble collection but I would not "tag them" as Gamble cards.

There are also two in my Brett Favre collection that are not 'his' cards.

1993 Pro Set Power #152 Keith McCants: It is very obvious that he is "trying" to sack Favre.

1996 Collector's Choice #286 Trent Dilfer: The back features Trent and Brett chatting during the game.

I have a bunch of examples in NASCAR and MLB too, but I won't add all of that stuff here. That's just too much stuff to type. :)

Oh yeah, Doc Floyd - Every person/database breaks that rule with Jordan! :D  Pretty much EVERY card he is on has a tag or his name listed in ( ) or " " .

 I will see if there is anything else to respond to later.  firstly, I am applauding this line.  Admin, we need a Like button
