I noticed that SOME of my Bo Jackson cards are not counted towards the stats in my baseball collection.  In particular, 1991 Score and 1991 Upper Deck Bo cards.  The counts for those sets in my Collection are both off by the number of Bo cards.  I have earlier Bo cards and all of them show up in the card counts for those sets.  

Also, I have 8 cards listed under football in my collection, but I've not entered a single football card.  When I click the link to football in my collection it doesn't list any sets, but I can see Bo Jackson in the names section and White Sox and Royals in the teams section. Again, this is under football.  Just odd.

I wanted to relay this in case it could be fixed.

So it would appear that Bo Jackson has been combined into one entry despite being a multi-sport athlete.  Hence the reason you are seeing those cards listed under football. I would assume that since you have no football cards, it is showing you the team names for the cards you do have.  It makes since to have one single entry for the dual sport Bo Jackson, but at the same time, I would argue that keeping them separate has its benefits as well.  However, he isn't the only entry on the database that has a dual sport background.  Now granted, it is guys like Wahoo McDaniel (football, Wrestling), Brock Lesner (MMA, Wrestling), Dennis Rodman (NBA, Wrestling) and Deion Sanders (football, baseball).  However, I always try to use the PID already established for their primary sport.  I would guess that is the case for Mr. Jackson here.  It would however, make sense that since you don't have any of his football cards collected that you shouldn't see an entry for cards there.  Maybe that should be brought up to Admin's attention on the "To Do" forum.

Send a note to Admin nd let him know. There must be some back end tweak that canbe made to show the baseball cards are in baseball and the football cards are in football. Since it's all the same PID, all we can do is use the one PID and hope.

Thanks for the reply. Is that the proper protocol for contacting Admins?  I'm new here. Really like it so far. Looking forward to contributing as I become more familiar as I was very involved  over at Zistle. 

THere are a lot of things on this site that as you gain more level of permissions, you can take care of it yourself. There are a few of us who have been here for a long time who have the highest level of permissions and even then, there are some things we just can't do. This happens to be one of them. If it's a mistake in the database, you maye have seen the "report any inaccuracies" links on pages - that will fire off an e-mail (after you give a description of the issue) to Admin. If it's something like this (where the pages affected have no link), then a private message to the ID of "Admin" will pretty much do the same thing. We've gotten a lot accomplished on this site by asking Admin for help with stuff and by making suggestions. It's "our" site as much as is "his" site. 

Just wanted to chime in about Brock Lesnar-- Don't forget his stint with the Minnesota Vikings :-) He's a triple-threat, in this case (WWE, MMA, and NFL) lol

In fact, many of his NFL RCs go for ridiculous amounts on eBay, which is probably due to demand from WWE/MMA fans. I'm just a humble Vikings fan who'd like to have one :-/

My birthday is in March if anyone wants to buy me one of these **hint hint!** lol
