You are correct. In genealogy, in-law is not direct-line.

According to wiki:

"The longest multi-generational family is the direct line of four generations starting with Howie Morenz, father-in-law of Bernie Geoffrion, who fathered Dan Geoffrion, who fathered Blake Geoffrion. All four generations have played for the Montreal Canadiens."

All four have cards but the son-in-law relationship doesn't seem that direct to me.

I'm sure the Sutters take it in total numbers, but a couple others spanned more generations.

The Patricks: Brothers Frank & Lester; Lynn & Muzz (Sons of Lester); Craig & Glenn (Sons of Lynn).

The Hextalls: Bryan Sr., Sons Bryan Jr. & Dennis, and Ron (Son of Bryan Jr.)

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Tony, Jack, and Pete Leswick were aall brothers in the 1930s in the NHL. Their nephew was in MLB in the 1980s (Lenny Dykstra). I believe there was another faamilly memeber in the WWE, but I can't remember who. Jeff Zatkoff is a goalie for the Kings. His family has a long history at U of Michigan with each family member playing a different sport and a lot of them going pro.
