This question pertains to this set https://www.tradingcarddb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/69406/1995-Classic-Images-Four-Sport---Draft-Challenge.  In this case the players have not been drafted yet, so do the college teams get listed despite there being NFL team/s (helmets) on the card as a potential landing spot for these players?

Level 2 guidelines- the team mentioned on the card gets assigned,  if the player is in college uniform but professional team mentioned on the card, the professional team is assigned 

What about the player's fifth card? Would all four NFL teams be linked? On the front of the card, the player is shown in college jersey. On the back of the card, all four NFL team helmets from their first four cards are shown.

I think an exception to the normal rule might be in order on this particular set since each player has 4 cards, with 4 POTENTIAL teams to draft him, not necessarily the team that drafted him.

I would not want a card with my NFL team logo on it on a player that may have/was not drafted by my team.

I am all for rules, but sometimes we would want to make exceptions

I'm in agreement with Mark on this one - looks like only the college team should be used. Weird to see these guys in uniforms they never wore.

The subject matter of the cards should be the deciding factor.  The subject of this set is predicting the NFL team the player will be drafted by.

We have other examples were a person or character is associated with a team pictured on the card even though they were never members of the team. Fan cards; the fans were never a member of the team. Cartoon characters in MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA uniforms.  Presidental candidates in MLB uniforms.  Those cards have them in uniforms or the team logos are on the card.

Another good example are expansion draft teams.  I've seen many cards produced of players who were drafted in the expansion draft but never ended up playing for the team.   

I think a certain member even has a User List of "Never Played For" cards.

Yes, a certain user does have a rather lengthy list of just baseball players shown in uniforms or listed with teams they never played for.

Now that this is established and dripping off my face, what do you think should be done with this set?

First 4 cards with the Pro teams? Fifth card with ????

IMHO; first four "college / NFL". The fifth field card is a little tougher, but I'd go with "college".

I can get behind that opinion as well. I could live with just the pro teams on the first 4 cards, but doing both would be a good compromise because of the nature of these cards.
